Roosevelt, in one of his final official acts in the interest of the Amer- J ican Merchant Marine, issued his customary proclamation declaring May 22, 1945, as National Marl- I time Day. Ever since a joint re- I solution of Congress in 1933, this day has been set aside to pay honor to America's merchant ( shipping. m Its observance this year will r recognize the significance of our I nrpsr>nf rlav maiilime Position, ( r . and will call attention to the Mer- I chant Marine's importance to tho J'l national defense and economio I security of tne unueu States. I In directing thr t the people oi II the United States observe Na- I tional Maritime Da. by display- ! l ing the flag at th if homes or Bfl other suitable places. President fl Roosevelt gave officivt' stamp to - jl the debt the nation owes the *1 Merchant Marine for its heroia I war-time achievements. I May 22nd has been selected as I National Maiitinie Day in honor fl of the first steamship crossing I of the Atlantic Ocean. On May ij 22, 1819, a small .American-built, II manned anu operated vessel nam- II ed the SAVANNAH sailed from l| that port for Europe. The pione- ["J ering that was done by the j SAVANNAH helped to pave tho > way for the great advunces mada in steamship construction and f navigation in the. years that fol- j< lowed. ,f; Today the American Merchant Marine is the largest in history. ji it consists of some 1,000 ships jj of approximately 42,000,000 dead- S weight tons and is served by 210,- j 000 officers and men Xlic man. . agement and operation of this | vast fleet is performed by approximately 130 American steam- K ship companies acting as agents under the direction of the War Shipping Administration. President Roosevelt recently summed up the services of the I, men and management of the }v' American Merchant Marine when he said: "The operators in this war have J1 written one of its most brilliant chapters. They have delivered the goods when and where needed in every theater of operations and ? across every ocean in the biggest, the most difficult and dan- , gerous job ever undertaken. "As time goes on, there will * be greater public understanding -J of our merchant fleet's record during this war. That, I 'hope, I will give it the kind of support, especially from shippers and passengers, that will insure the f strength and vigor it will need to meet our defense and foreign trade requirements in the years I' to come." , E Mr. and Mrs. E.E.
