STATE AID FOR STEAMSHIP LINES
NJ o. Much I Part N Commercial sys
ssrn - etsts Employment 81 csn-
svIs 70 Promote Dusinsss.

Washington, Jan S4.-The presi.
dsat Wednesday sent message to con.
Igrsss calling attention to the great de-
sirability Of enactment Of legislation
to help American shipping and Ameri-
can trade by encouraging the building
and running of large and swift steam
srs to South America and the Orient.
The urgent need Of the country max.
ing an effort TO do something like Its
share of its own carrying trade on the
ocean has been called to his attention,
the president says, in striking fash
ion by the experiences of Secretary
Root on his recent South American
tour.
State aid to steamship lines, the
president says, is as much a part of
the commercial system of to-day as
state employment OF consuls to pro
mote business.
The president says that the pro-
posed law which had been discussed
in congress Is in no sense experiment
tai. II is based on the best and most
successful precedents, as for instance
WI Allt lNNtlN Shilolh tOhAibNN "iNAi
the British government.
The President discusses the bill now
before the committee and says:
1T would be discreditable for us TO
surrender to our commercial rivals the
great commerce of the Orient, the great
commerce we should have with South
America and even our communication
with Hawaii and the Philippines"
The text of the message is as follows
ITO the Senate and House Of Represen'
tatives:
81 call your attention to the great
decirabiSty Of enacting legislation to
help American shipping and American
trade by encouraging the building and
furnishing Of lines Of large and swift
steamers to South America and the
Orient.
The urgent need Of our country
making an effort to do something like
its share Of its own carrying trade on
the ocean has been called to our attsn'
tion in striking fashion by the expert
snces Of Secretary Root in his recent
South American tour"
The president, therefore urges the
passage OF the ship subsidy bill.
