The need ofextreme haste in pass
ing the ship subsidy bill is evident
when it is stated that The American
line is building two ships, which, if
finished after the bill passes, will
save it from the necessity of building
others TO enable its foreign built
vessels to draw subsidies. If finished
before the bill becomes a law, the
poor poverty staicken line will have
to do some more building.
