DOCUMENTS DIVISION

TESTIMONY taken by the Congressional Select Committee to inquire into the operations, policies, and affairs of the United States Shipping Board and the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation in the United States and in Europe will be found in parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The testimony taken in Europe will be found in part 4.

EXHIBITS to testimony and other data furnished the select committee in response to the questionnaire submitted by it to the United States Shipping Board and the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation will be found in parts A, B, C, D, E, and F. Exhibits are indexed both by subject and by number.

INDEX SYSTEM: All main subjects and important subsubjects thereunder are indexed. Synonomous, interchangeable, and qualifying terms are crossreferred to main subjects. Example: "Repairs" is cross-referred to "Maintenance and repairs.' "Voyage repairs" will, therefore, be found under "Maintenance and repairs, voyage." 'Ships" is indexed as a main subject. "Ves"Craft" are cross-referred to "Ships." Sales of ships" is

sels," "Boats," indexed under "Sale."

66

TESTIMONY of witnesses is indexed under "Testimony," as well as under names of individual witnesses.

The volume of the work and the vast range of subjects covered, together with lack of time, rendered it impossible to index by page every minor subject or every company, individual, or ship referred to.

In the testimony of major officials where important subjects were referred to constantly on almost every page of their testimony, it was impracticable to do other than index the whole testimony under each subject, and this was done.

If the reader will follow the index carefully and consult the pages on any giv en subject as scheduled in the index, he will find any information he may seek on any of the subjects embraced in the inquiry in almost any form he may desire. This work was compiled and edited by the undersigned, assisted by Mr. J. H. Williams.

J. FREDERICK RICHARDSON,

Special assistant to and chief investigator for the Congressional
Select Committee to inquire into operations, policies, and affairs:
of the United States Shipping Board and the United States
Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation.
