FERGUSON PLEADS
FOR SHIP SUBSIDY
Newport News Builder Stresses
Vital Importance of Strong
Merchant Marine.

WAsHINcroN. April 10.--Importancc
cf encouraging the development of the
american merchant marine for possible
use in time OF war was stressed at to-
days session of the joint Congressional
hearings on the ship subsidy bill of
Homer l.. Ferguson, president of the
Newport News Ship Building and Dry
Dock Company, who declared that In
event of war an efficient merchant
n arine is as necessary as an efficient
battle fleet.
ANY limitation through international
agreement upon the future construction
CT naval vessels will make the merchant
marine and its personnel of even greater
Importance relatively than they have
been in the past" he said. LAS the
number of war vessels is to be restricted,
the Importance of the merchant fleet as
ali auxiliary is correspondignly en-
hanced. Should war fleets be abolished
altogether the sea would be definitely
III control of those Powers having tho
best merchant fieets.''
Mr.. Ferguson suggested that when the
United States apd Great Britain have
euualized their naval fleets their war
strength on the sea will not be equal. the
country possessing the best merchant
shipping inevitably having tremendous
advantage.
only less in Importance to the navy
than the existence of a large and suit
able fleet OF merchant vessels" Mr.. Fer
euson continued. ''is the healthy activity
oe, adequate shipbuilding organizations
The future of the shipbuiiding industry
IN the United States depends primarily
uron the maintenance and successful de-
vc'opment Of the merchant marine.
with large naval building definitely
abandoned for at least ten years 1t
stands to reason that the big. well
equipped shipyards must build large and
powerful merchant ships or their ability
tp produce either for merchant marine
ot navy will become very much
weakened and probably disappear.
With the dearth of naval construc.
ton American yards look forward to a
period of acute depression, to be relieved
only by the construction of the higher
type passenger and passenger-cargo ves-
sels IL such is made possible by Gov
inment aid.'
