U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's appointment of three members of the new Maritime Commission has for the moment stopped severe criticism of him by the shipping men who are eager to get their feet into the Treasury trough and receive their share of the subsidies which the commission is to ladle out. They cannot understand why he has waited so long, since Congress adjourned, to pour the money into their pockets. All of them are, of course, bitterly critical of the U.S. government's relief expenditures, its pampering of the workless and its boondoggling.
