Business Men and Subsidies
IRON the washington Star, }

The Chamber Of Commerce of the
United States has performed a val
liable service in oanvassing the SEN
timent of its affiliated orgsniza-
tions throughout the country on the
subject of an American merchant
marine. No subject just now appeals
more strongly to business bodies and
thoir views are worthy of general at
tention. That they will weigh with
Congress when the time comes seems
reasonably certain.
This paragraph is taken from the
summary given 10 the press as the
result Of the canvass.
"The principle of subsidies was adj
vocated by 81 per cent OF the votes
which came from local organizations.
BY sections of the country this vote
among local organizations was 90 per
cent. in favor in the south, 70 in the
east. SO in the middle west and 81 in
the far west"
The south has been hard hit by
our helplessness on the water since
the war began. She favors a mer-
chant marine. and her business bodies
are almost unanimous In indorsing
the principle Of subsidies.
