ROOSEVELT DEP[ORES
SUBSIDY BILL DEFEAT

OMAHA, Neb.. April Representa-
tive E. P. Pollard of the First Nebraska
District has received a letter from
President Roosevelt thanking him for
his support of the ship subsidy bill,
congressman upon the view they had
taken of the situation and deprecating
the defeat of the bill as serious in
Jury to the commercial interests of the
United States. Following is an ex-
tract from the letter:
1t is deeply discreditable to us as a
nation that out shipping should be driv-
en- from the high seas, and it has thus
been driven partly because our steam
pete with foreign steamship lines
English. German. French, japanese
which are heavily subs died by their
Governments, and partly because the
high standard of wages and Of living
which we exact for our seamen puts
our shipmasters and shipowners at a
disadvantage when forced to compete
even with nonsubsidized ships of for
eign powers. This difference in stan
dards and the subsidization of our for
eign competitors, taken together, have
created an obstacle to the development
of our shipping which is insurmount-
able, except by a subsidy, and this OBJ
stacle must be cleared away as we
would clear away a bar from the
mouth of river.
I felt that the loss of the ship sub
sidy bill at the last session of Con-
gress was a real blow to our country |
and that it was especially to be re-
GREETED because it tended to dampen |
some of the enthusiasm for closer rela- |
tons with this country which Secre-
,ary Roots visit aroused in South
America.

however, any of his medicines were
