Swanson Asks Legislation to
Authorize Action Under
Presidents Order
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM
(CopyriKht, 1885, by International



A sweeping national defense
program, calling for mobilization
Of the American merchant marine
upon threat of war, was placed
before Congress today by Secre-
tary of the Navy Swanson.
In communication to the
House Naval Affairs Committee,
Secretary Swanson asked legisla-
ton permitting the President to
take over every ship registered
or licensed under United States
laws whenever he deemed a war
emergency existed.
Essential To Defense
SECRETARY Swanson said:
"The prompt procurement for
use as naval auxiliaries of .
large number of privately.
owned and operated ships at
the outset Of war or when a
national emergency Is imminent
is essential to the national de-
fenSe."
Under present regulations, he
explained, the number of vessels
OF the necessary types which may
be taken prior to the commence
ment of hostilities does not meet
the nations requirements. He
said:
"If the proposed legislation
is passed there will be made
available to the President a
large field of selection for
early procurement and this
will reduce the delays and diff
ficulties of obtaining salts
factory types of vessels"
The Navy Department, together
with the Departments of War
and Commerce, feels such legis-
lation is absolutely essential for
national security, he said.
Would Alter Marine Act
The legislation suggested to the
House by the Navy would amend
the merchant marine act "to per-
NIT the President to take over or
purchase any vessel licensed un-
der United States laws if he deems
an emergency is imminent"
Meanwhile, the Navy also will
ask Congress to appropriate 3d.

unexpended appropriations, and
transferred by necessary leg1Sla-
$iNro f41s This YOiIIsVNNSA
He explained it was not con-
