United States is to have merchant marine adequate for the develop ment of it's foreign and domestic commerce"
 European nations, through their steamship companies he says, have entered the field of aviation Competition with the merchant marines of other nations, therefore demands that the American mer- chant marine be unshackled by ar bitrary and narrow interpretation of civil aeronautics law.
 Postwar competition in shipping will be keener and more serious than any heretofore met by American steamship companies.
 Cooperation between air trans port systems and the merchant marine is condition precedent to meeting this postwar competition and the maintenance of at least an equal position in foreign commerce with those nations which place no restrictions upon the operation of steamship companies in the aviation field"

was organized. Later he followed
up this instruction by studying at
