No matter what the final verdict.
It will be a good thing to Have the
facts in the open. There has been
too much Idle and often poisonous
talk already. And as long as Jim

Britain's '"Cliveden Set" and war

said In an interview last night that
the United States will be unable to

If It disappears or Is smashed by the

The federal maritime commission has

a merchant marine second to none
and has warned backward steamship
lines that they must begin their con
struction programs on schedule or
face drastic reductions In government
subsidies, It was learned today.
Commission officials said that 12
companies, whld. have agreed to
building a total of 63 ships by 1942,
have been tardy in getting their pro
grams under way. All have contracts
with the govnrnmcnt which pays
them the differential between con
struction and operations costs In the
United States and those In foreign
countries where theytare lower.
One official said tHat failure of tho
companies to live up to their agree
ments may mean forfeiture of their
contracts, or heavy cuts In their sub
sidies. He added however, that the
commission Is confident the lines
will "come through on schedule."
The agreements call for 18 ships this
year. Last Friday tho commission let
contracts totalling 110.000,000 for
