WASHINGTON, Dec. 39.-President
Wilson seems destined to be disap-
pointed in at least part Of his leg
islative program at the present ses-
sion of Congress. 1t now seems ex-
tremely doubtful that the Alexander
ship purchase bill will succeed In
passing the breakers before it.
The measure was shelved at the last
Congress because Of the increasing
tide of sentiment against it. Had it
been pressed for passage, it was al
most certain to have been defeated.
President Wilson was confident the
situation would be changed when Con
gress convened this month. He be-
lieved it's attitude would be decidedly
more receptive He still thinks the bill,
commanding the administration sup
port, will be enacted into law shortly
after Christmas.
Outlook Is Dubious.
Administration leaders in both the
House and Senate now declare the out
look for the bill Is dubious. 1t seems
certain that party lines will be badly

broken If the measure comes to a vote
1t is doubtful, however, whether it will
be brought to vote; the party lead
ers probably will abandon it when
they see the fight ahead Of them. The
President, anxious as he is to have
it passed, is not so irrevocably pledged
to the bill that he would not sdetrack
it rather than face another setback in
Congress.
Briefly. the bill provides for the pur-
chase Of ships by the United States
government to provide merchant ma
rine during the war crisis. 1t does not
provide for government operation,
however A holding company" is to
be created by the statute, comprising
leading business men. shipping experts
and officials of the government, which
will be invested with the management
Of the purchased ships. The original
Alexander will provided for an initial
outlay of s20,OO0,O00O for ship pur-
chase, but this amount probably will
be increased in the bill to be presented
to the present Congress.
