Each government
would
exercise
such control over the
facilities for shipping available in its territories and take
such other measures as might be necessary with the object of
securing that ships under all flags were used in conformity
with the general purpose and objective of the DSA.
..
Remuneration would be paid by users (government or private)
of ships. Such remuneration would be determined by the DSA
on a fair and reasonable basis. Ships performing comparable
service would be employed on comparable terms irrespective
of flag.

All losses suffered during the war of ships contributed
by individual governments to the pool would be taken into
consideration in any arrangements to be made for the replace-

It was also agreed that in executing its
in executing its allocation role the
DSA would, so far as possible and subject to the over-riding need
for economy in the employment of shipping and the most effective
means of carrying out its general objectives, secure that ocean-
going merchant ships in the central pool shared in a just and
reasonable manner the risks of operation in the various danger
zones, participated equitably in carrying high- and low-revenue
cargoes, and were directed as often as reasonable and practicable
to voyages terminating at national ports.
3 These principles have since been developed by the Alliance's
Planning Board for Ocean Shipping (PBOS) into detailed plans
(including arrangements for war risks insurance) which have been
progressively amended to reflect changes in the shipping industries
