SHIP SUBSIDIES

Senator Newlands seems to have
had the right idea OF subsidy II
subsidy there is to be. It relates
to a proposed subsidy Of thirty
millions for steamship lines to Gem
trail and South American ports.
senator Newlands," says the San
Diego Sun, proposes this plan:
Instead OF giving thirty millions 20
private enterprise, let US build
thirty ships costing one million
dollars each. Let us lease these
ships to organised commercial bod
les in various seaport cities, so tina.
they may develop foreign trade
for both local and national benefit,
paying rental which shall cover
depreciation and reasonable inter-
est on the investment. Let US en-
roll the seamen employed on these
leased steamships as members OF
the auxiliary navy, paying them a
monthly bonus out OF the national
treasury, sufficient to make up the
difference between foreign and
American wages, and requiring
them in return for this bonus 20
accept training and discipline I'M
der naval officers. II we do this,
what shall we then have in place
OF subsidized private lines? We
shall have 80 independent steam
ship lines, controlled by the BUSH
ness men OF thirty American sea-
ports. We shall have thirty splen-
did ships ready to serve as trans
ports on short notice, manned by
crews OF American seamen, trained
for naval service by naval officers.
This plan will not cost the nation
a dollar more than the scheme OF
ship subsidies proposed. 1t will
have the further advantage OF en-
riching the nation instead OF pri-
vate corporations.

Senator La Toilette, looking
more tit and vigorous than ever
before since becoming a senator,
told inquiring friends about the
Senate chamber today Of the oper-
alton be underwent during the re-
cess of congress. This operation
had relieved him of a chronic in
ternal trouble which for years had
made him feel heavy, stupid and
disinclined to activity, he said.
But since recovering from the
operation he had been in fine
feetle and believed he would now
be able to accomplish something
worth while. Senator Crane threw
up his hands when a friend con.
