ROPER WARNS

NEW YORK. Nov. 10 GN.SJ.
Leaders of the American Mer-
chant Marine today had before
them a warning that they would
have to evolve some system of in
creasing self7sufficiency and de-
creasing governmental subsidy if
government ownership and opera
tion was to be delayed or pre-
vented.
The warning was sounded by
Secretary of Commerce Daniel c.
Roper, speaking at the banquet
of the American Merchant Marine
conference and the Propeller Club.
American commercial ships, he
said, were virtually worthless as
a second line of naval defense,
and would be incapable of hand
ling national commerce during a
war in which the United States
was not involved, if foreign ships
were withdrawn from service. The
prime need. he added, was a new
system of government aids, scien.
tifically planned.
