necessary for the Shipping Board to en-

the uncovering of wrong doing. and these
men were charged with heavy re-
sponsibility The men whom We depend
upon to be checks upon those who might
be tempted to do wrong bear a heavy
responsibility II they failed us. but an
organization spending more than three

When there is scarcity Of wealth
