will URGE SHIP SUBSIDY.
President Says Merchant Marine Must
Be Built Up-Bis Crowd AppIauds.

President says Merchant MARINE MUST
Be Built Up-Bis Crowd AppIauds.
Seattle, Wash, Oct. L. Speaking
before the largest audience he has
faced since his trip began-a crowd
that overflowed the natural amphi-
theater of the Alaska Yukon Pacific
exposition, with it's seating capacity Of
nearly 10000. President Taft an
nounced that he would urge in his
coming message to congress the enact
ment of ship subsidy law.
Mr.. Taft declared that the country
was ready to make such experiment
and that something must be done to
build up an American merchant ma
rine. His utterances on this subject
were received with great acclaim.
When the president turned to Alaska
posed to granting a territorial form of
government to that far-off possession.
the statement was received in silence.
AS the president proceeded, however,
and outlined his policy for the upbuild-
ing of Alaska, of recommending gov
ernment aid in the construction of rail-
roads, of a local government by a
commission Of five or more members
appointed by the president and CO.
operating with the governor, and when
he told Of the great possibilities that lie
in Alaska, he plainly caught the favor
of his hearers and was loudly cheered.
On ship subsidy the president said:
Il need not tell you Of the made
quacy Of the American shipping marine
on the Pacific coast and of the grow
ing commercial progress in this regard
of the empire Of Japan. Japan is one
= Of the most active and generous coun-
tries in the matter of subsidies to its
merchant marine and the effect is only
too visible in an examination of sta
tisfics.
"For this reason It seems there is no
subject to which congress can better
devote its attention during the coming
session than the bill which regulates
our merchant marine in such a way
as to establish American lines between
New York and other eastern ports and
South American ports and between our
Pacific coast ports and the orient and
the Philippines.
I'VE earn a profit from our foreign
mails Of from $4,000, 900 to $S,000,O0 a
year. The appropriation of that amount
would be quite sufficient to put on a
satisfactory basis two or three oriental
lines and several lines from the east
to South America. OF course we are
familiar with tl1e argument that this
would be a contribution to private
companies out of the treasury of the
United States, but we are thus con-
tributing in various ways on similar
principles i'm effect both by our pro-
tective tariff laws, by our river and
harbor bills and by our reclamation
service. We are putting money into
the pockets Of ship owners, buh we are
giving them money with which they
can compete, for reasonable profit only
with the merchant marine Of the
world"
