ship SUBSIDY MEN
ARE LOSING HOPE
Majority In Congress Figure
Aid to Merchant Marine
Would Be Inadequate.

The friends of ship subsidy legislation
in Congress are much discouraged.
They see little hope of securing the leg
isIation they want this session. A
meeting this week of the House Post
office Committee to take up the ocean
mail question failed to bring out a
quorum of the committee
This is of the more Importance be-
cause the Democrats are about to take
control of the House, and when they do
subsidy legislation will be impossible
So it looks as If the supporters of subsi-
dies would have to bide their time until
the Republicans rccapture the House
and have complete control of the Gov
eTnment.
One of the difficulties which ship sub
sidy legislation has had to contend
against is the feeling of many members
OF House and Senate that the proposed
aid to the merchant marine would be
inadequate to really rehabiItate the
merchant marine. Most members OF
Congress would like to see the Ameri-
car flag flying on the ocean more freely
than it does. but many of them cannot
figure out how this could be brought
about TO any marked extent by the
expenditure Of several millions of dol
lars.
The proposition TO give subsidies to
ships carrying mail to South America is
stronger in the House than the PROPOSE
ton TO subsidlze lines to the Orient.
That is, many men from the Middle
West would vote for subsidies on lines
to South America, but would not so
vote If lines to the Orient were in
cluded. On the other hand, if the lines
TO the Orient are shut on, the Pacific
coast Representatives will baIk
