AMERICAN FLAG ON OCEAN.
Rarely Seen Except on Battleships
and Millionaires' Yachts.
senator GaIIinger, of New Hamp-
shire, speaks In Favor OF
Ship subsidy Bill.

New York, Nov. 21.-At the ma
val architects banquet $50 members
were present and listened to addresses
by Senator Jacob II. Gallinger of New
Hampshire, Rear Admiral Robley d.
Evans and others, Senator Gallinger
spoke in favor of the ship subsidy bill
and the rehabilitation of the American
merchant marine. He said in part:
1T is a matter of shame to every
American, when he recalls the con-
dition of the American merchant ma
rine to-day. About the only craft that
carry the flag is a battleship or a yacht
belonging to a millionaire. President
Roosevelt said that something must
be done to rehabilitate the merchant
service, and congress appointed a o
mittee, and l am especially glad to
speak of the work of that committee.
We need sailors even for battleships.
The Frye-Hanna bill provides for a
subsidy of SIS per ton for vessels en-
gagged in foreign trades for twelve
months, In return, these vessels may
be taken for the defense Of the United
States. One of the big metropolitan
dailies has recently said such a bill
would put a tax burden of from S15.-
to $4,000, 900 on the people.
Gentlemen, the tonnage dues and the
carrying of the mails, these two items
alone, would make the cost of this bill
not in excess of LOCO, 900 the first
year.

Our struggle for the peoples free

against the fatherland which you are
obliged TO suppress. Many Of you, be-
lieving this have shot your own

of many of the soldiers and sailors
have been opened. They understand
that all of us are brothers, and that
we are sons of the same nation whose
common enemies are your comman-
ders and those in power. They under
stand that the liberty of the people is
their own liberty and the good of the
people their own good.
