THINK MAIL BILL
WILL BE CARRIED
Senator Gallinger Says People Are
Being Educated to Approve
the Measure.
WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May s1.-That
the ocean mail bill, which passed the
Senate on March goth without division.
and later was sustained by the Senate
in the post-oftice appropriation bin by,
a vote of 6 to 10, is not Killed by the
action Of the House in failing to ac-
cept It on narrow vote Of 145 to
l5s, Is the firm conviction Of the
that next December it will win by a
decisive majority. The eXultation
which the temporary defeat of this
measure has aroused in Liverpool and
owners and merchants, is hasty and
premature, said Senator Galinger. in
discussing the subject. He continued:
The vote on May 23d shows how
swiftly the ocean mail service and the
merchant marine are gathering
strength in the House of Represents
tives. One year ago tifty-siN Republi.
cans. nearly all from the Middle West,
voted against a bill for mail lines to
S9nth Ams1jea ca The h other day only
Perkins, of Rochester, n Y, from the
Middle West, voted against bill for
mail lines to South America, Japan,
China, the Philippines and Austrralasia.
lpublicans of the House We're opposed
this year only lG Sper cent And this
second test is all the more significant
! because It was made in the year of a
presidential election. ii
1.-THE Middle West is stlll the centre
OF opposition, but that opposition is a
waning one, and i have reason to be-
Ilieve that many--probably majority
E--of the thirty-five Western represent
itatives who voted against the ocean
lbll week ago, personally favor leg
lislation of this kind, but fear that IT is
not vet properly understood BY their
constituents. There Is no question that
there Is hostility in the Middle West
to the idea of subsidy, but this ocean
mail bills no more OF subsidy, than
lis our expenditure on rural free de-
livery or railway mail carrying 1t Is
simply honest pay for actual service
rendered."

or House were OF far greater import
ance than those which were placed on
the statute books. For instance &
most determined fight was made by
the Republicans to secure an appro-
priation for the subsdizing Of mail
and passenger steamship lines from the
United States to ports in South
America, the Philippines and the
Orient.
The Senate agreed, but the Demo-
Gratis and few Republicans defeated
this feature of the post-ofice appro-
priation bill.
1t was. confidently expected that the
Senate would take some action looking
to the final adjustment, by force II
necessary, OF our differences with Pres
ident Castro. Of Venezuela, but those
who expected such legislation We're
disappointed.
Many bills were introduced in the
House by both Democrats ana lsepub-
licans proposing repeal of the duty on
wood pulp, and a select committee
spent weeks in investigating the sub
lject, but beyond receiving the report

act in the matter.
Congress passed an appropriation bill
carrying appropriations aggregatins

buildings In the cities and towns of

The Senate ratified arbitration treat

Probably the most Important defee,
sustained by the administration was
that administered by Congress in re-
fusing to enlarge the powers Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission in5the
matter of regulating rates. Congress
took no action on the recomme ndatior
