Besides overcoming the difficulties
encountered because Uncle Sam was

New Ship Subsidy Bill
introduced i'm Senate

A new ocean mail bill, commonly
known as ship subsidy, drawn up as a
result OF conferences between President
Taft and Senator Gallinger and others,
was introduced by Mr.. Gallinger today
as a substitute for his subsidy bill, now
pending in the Senate. The bill stands
next to the Lorimer case, which is first
in the Senate's order of business.
The new bill eliminates Trans-Paci1c
lines, and applies only to the estab-
lishment of ocean mail service on routes
TO South America, south of the equator
that is. = T5raziI, Uruguay, Argentina,
Chile, anG ,,ru. If there is more than
one line % South America one Of the
lines will touch at at least one port
South Charles.
The bill provides the award of any
contract for an ocean mail line to any
bidder engaged in competitive trans
portation by rail or in the business of
exporting and importing merchandise on
his own account. A contract shall be
Cancelled when the holder thereof gives
undue preference TO any particular per-
son. corporation, or locality.
Bidders Offering the highest running
speed will have preference in the award
Of mail contracts. The expenditures un-
der the bill are not to exceed S4,000,0G0 a
year, and are not in any case to exceed
the amount of the profits received by
the Government from the ocean mail
service.
1t is believed by friends of the bill
that 1t will break the existing European
monopoly in ocean transportation be-
tween the United States and the prin-
CipaI countries of South America. The
bill is expected to lead to the Construc-
tion of from twenty to thirty steamships
of at least sixteen knots an hour, with
a tonnage of from 5000 to 1000 tons,
and built on designs approved by the
Navy DEPARTMENT The ships would
