Origin of Ship Subsidy.
''The ship subsidy started in about
thirty minutes. had induced the Jap
anese to take our cotton to mix with
theirs SO that it would make a better
yarn. The Boer war broke out and we
could not get ships on the Pacific coast.
1 had to cancel an order for $4,000
bales of cotton in December I came
on East and saw Senator Fairbanks
and Senator Hanna. 1 asked why we
could not get ships to carry our goods.
Senator Hanna said he would see me
in the morning, and he did. The re-
suit was that he opened his campaign
in Ohio on the ship subsidy"
Then your remedy asked Mr.. Nc
DermOtt, lis an export bounty?"
yes, that is it."
you seem to be very pessimistic
over the outlook" said Senator Gal
linger.
That is because I have looked at it
from a purely business standpoint. I
built those two ships simply as a reg
ulator-to make the experiment. There
are only two courses open; either an
export bounty or government assist
ance, which would rise into very large
figures
Government Aid Necessary.

Sndu nave TO give some sort OF gov
eminent aid or go out of business ?''
asked Senator Lodge.
Exactly. If you fix a limit of ten
years on the subsidies the favored
party must make the cost of his plant
in the ten years. Otherwise he will
sell out to the other fellow
How much do you think would be
required for subsidy" asked Senator
Mallory.
"Oh, $1O,OOO,OOO or $4,000, 900 would
get lot of tonnage. You might take
it out of the river and harbor bill But
l tell you the great, big navigation is
going to be on steel rails"
That Japanese line you spoke off,
asked Senator Lodge, ''is very skill
fully subsidized, is it not?"
Il talked to Ito about this. He was
with me two or three days and is very
capable. If there is a bounty for the
line it is so skillfully covered up that
1 was not able to discover it."
The hearing will continue tomor-
