Republican Measures which Favos

A correspondent asks whether the
Standard Oil company would be en-
titled to subsidies on account OF the

The company has . number OF such

company could not get the benefit OF

has in commission now until IL had
built new American ships. We're II
TO do that it would get only 80 per
cent. OF the subsidy on the ships II
is running now. and the full subsidy
on the newly constructed vessels. AS
these tank ships have a cargo only
one way and return in ballast, they
would earn subsidy on the outward
trim ONLY. Hence, il the bill were 10

As fast as the ships which the Stan

new ships built for il in this country
and these ships would be entitled tt
the full subsidy. Ships built during
the next ten years are to be entltlec
