Is no moro of a subsidy than is our expenditure on rural free delivery or railway mall carrying, It is simply honest pay for actual service render ed.
 Western misunderstanding of the ocean mall legislation, wherever It ex- ists, l am. convinced, Is due in large part to the propaganda maintained for many years by which the rich ond powerful European steamship com bnatiops-through their emigtant agencies scattered all over the Wes- tern country These foreign ship companies are afraid of vigorous, competing American merchant mar Inc.

OCEAN MAIL BILL
Firm Conviction of Friends of the Measure That It Is
 Not Dead.
EXPECT VICTORY LATER ON
Exuitatlon Abroad Over Temporary Defeat Premature, Says
 Galllnger.

Washington, May 3l.--That the ocean mall bill which passed the senate on March 20 without division and was sustained later by the senate in the postofiice appropriation bill by vote of 46 to l2, Is not killed by the action of the house in failing to accept 1t by the narrow vote of l45 to 15S is the firm conviction of the friends of the measure They believe that next De- cember 1t will win by n decisive ma jority
 The exultation which the tempora- ry defeat of this measure has aroused in Liverpool, London and Hamburg, among the foreign ship owners and merchants. is nasty and premature" said Senator Gallinger of New Hamp- shire, In discussing the subject He continued:
 The vote on May 23 shows how quickly the ocean mall service and the merchant marine are gathering strength in the house of representa- tives. One year ago. 56 republicans. nearly all from the middle west, voted against bill for mail lines to South America. The other day, only 36 re- publicans. all but MT. Perkins of Rochester, N. Y, from the middle west voted against bill for mail lines 10 South America, Japan, China, the Philippines and Australasia. A year ago 22 per cent. of the republicans of the house were opposed; this year only l6 per cent. And this second test is all the more significant because 1t was made In the year of presidential elec- tion.
 The middle west Is still the center of opposition but that opposition Is a waning one. Already there Is very much more support than hostility in those inland states which have long been the special field of activity of the European steamship corporations. For 10 years the agents and attorneys In l this country of foreign ship trusts, like that which took several fast steamers out of New York in our war with Spain and sold them to the Spanish govern ment have been boasting that the whole middle west was unalterably op- posed to all national legislation for an American ocean mail service and mer- chant marine. Now, as matter of fact the inland states between Ohio and the Rocky mountains cast SS republican votes for ocean mail bill in the house the other day, as compared with B votes against it-a iIvS Ne western ma {orttv for ,his r1eneire of mora than to 1. I have reason to believe that many-probably q majority--of the 3t western representatives who voted against the ocean mail bill week agC personally favor legislation of this kind, but fear that it Is not yet proper ly understood by their constituents.
 There is no question that there is hostility to the midwest to the idea of subsidy, but this ocean mail bill

ALDRICH AT HEAD
Currency Commission Meets and Elects Him Chairman
 Vreeland Vice Chairman.
ORGANIZATION COMPLETED
Committee Named to Formulate Plans and Report at Meeting
 in July.

Washington, May 3l-The currency commission appointed yesterday by Vice President Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon under the terms of the Aldrlch- Vreeland bill held It's first meeting to- day, and while the meeting was only for organization, there was a general discussion of plans, It can be stated that if the outline submitted by Sena- tor Aldrich is perfected by the work of the commission, the country will be given the benefit of such a thorough in vestigation and complete an exposition of currency and banking as 1t has nev- CT before received. The commission or ganizod by electing Senator Aldrich chairman and Representative Vreeland vice chairman, thus recognizing In the two executive officers the co-authors of the law under which the commission was appointed. Arthur Shelton, clerk of the senate committee on finance. waS chosen secretary of the commission, and 1t was agreed that the house mem- bers be permitted to designate an as- sistant secretary but he was not nam ed today. The meeting was held today because of the necessity felt by some of the members of getting away from the city tomorrow. It took place at Sem ator Aldrich's committee room and lasted for about two hours, during which there was an informal discus sion of the work that should be done.
 Senator Aldrich expressed the opin- ion that the country would expect from the organization a very complete presentation of the financial subject. based upon investigations to be made not only in the United States, but also in the financial centers of Europe, and no dissenting voice was heard in the entire membership of eighteen representatives and senators. It was the general opinion that the commis- sion would continue Its existence for at least three or four years, and the opinion was expressed that the inves- tigatlon would prove as important for this country as did that of the old bullion commission for Great Britain. The discussion to-day resulted in the appointment of committee of six to formulate @ plan of action. As first appointed. the committee consisted of Senators Aldrich, Hale and Teller, and Representatives Vreeland, Burton and Padgett. Senator Teller subse- quently declined the office, and Sena- tor Bailey was substituted in his place. The committee will meet in New York about the middle of June, and will prepare its plans to be presented to a meeting of the full commission to be held at some seaside resort in New England about the fifteenth of July.
