MALLORY ATTACKS
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
Believes 1t Would Be Government
Aid to Private Enterprise With
out just Return.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-For several hours
to-day the Senate held the ~ship-subsidy bill
under consideration. Mr.. Mallory Of Florida
made an extended speech in opposition TO
the measure. He analysed the bill care
fully, and held that there was no good rea-
son for its enactment into law. saying he
believed that IL could not accomplish the
results hoped for it by its promoters. His
opposition was based chiefly on the ground
that II would extend the favor OF the
United States Treasury to private indivtd-
uals and corporations. without a just re-
turn for the expenditure.
Mr.. Mallory said in its ultimate analysis
that the bill was q measure to take the
money of the taxpayers to build up the prf-
vate business OF individuals and corpora
tons. Referring 10 Mr.. Frye's rgument in
support OF the establishment of al auxil-
larry navy. for which the pending bill pro-
vides. he did not believe there was SUI
fcient justification for the extraordinary
expenditure proposed by the bill.
In the event OF a war between the United
States and Great Britain. France. Germany.
Russia and other great maritime Powers
this county would lind itself in a very DIFF
ferent situation from that which II was in
during the Spanish War. The proposed
auxiliary cruisers would not be left to
scour the seas. because II was the policy OF
all the nations named now TO build war ves-
Se!s. which could easily overtake any one
of the ships. which. under the pending bill.
would become a part of the>naval auxiliary
fleet.
After analyizing at length the provisions
of the measure. Mr.. Mallory declared:
Congress never in its history passed a
measure OF this character. 1t has passed
many laws TO advance private gains under
the pretense OF public policy. but never one
absolutely bald and bold In its achievement
of private purposes as this measure"
He felt Inundated. he said. every time he

fact that. with the exception of schooners
and coastfng vessels. the American flag
never Is seen upon a mast In that harbor.
He would go as far as any Senator to put
the American merchant marine on a footing
OF equality with that OF other nations, but
he could not indorse a measure SO at vari-
ance with every principle OF right and JUS
tice.
Mr.. McCumber OF North Dakota and Mr..
Depew OF New York gave notice that they
would address the Senate tomorrow on the
ship-subsidy bill.
