This volume contains the hearings before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Commerce, United States Senate, Sixty-fourth Congress, First Session, on H.R. 15455, "An Act To Establish A United States Shipping Board, A Naval Auxiliary, And Merchant Marine." This historical record provides insight into the legislative considerations surrounding the creation of these entities during a pivotal time in American history. The discussions detail the urgent need to bolster the nation's maritime capabilities and establish a robust merchant marine, especially in light of global events such as World War I.

Readers interested in the economic and strategic decisions that shaped American maritime policy in the early 20th century will find this a valuable resource. The hearings reveal the complex debates and compromises involved in establishing institutions designed to protect and promote American interests on the high seas.
