War Emergency - Admission Of Foreign Shipping To The Coastwise Trade: Hearings Before The Committee On The Merchant Marine And Fisheries, House Of Rep (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781248627990)

This volume contains the hearings before the Committee on the Merchant Marine and Fisheries of the House of Representatives during the Sixty-fifth Congress, First Session, regarding H.R. 5609, a bill titled "War Emergency - Admission Of Foreign Shipping To The Coastwise Trade".

The hearings focus on granting the President of the United States special powers relating to the admission of foreign shipping into coastwise trade during a declared war emergency. This historical document provides insight into the legislative considerations and debates surrounding maritime policy during a critical period, likely World War I, and the balance of power between the legislative and executive branches in times of national crisis. A valuable resource for legal scholars, maritime historians, and anyone interested in the intersection of law, trade, and wartime policy.
