Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 85, Issue 1

A fairly comprehensive Shipping Act was passed in 1916, and four years later a still broader Merchant Marine Act was adopted by Congress. The passage of these two laws, however, has not removed the merchant marine question from public discussion, nor has the construction of a vast tonnage of shipping for war purposes determined the status and future prospects of the merchant marine.
