TAX EXEMPTION
FOR us. MARINE
Ten-Year Leeway to Be
Given American Ships,
Under Bill.

Exemption OF American ships en-
gagged in foreign trade from excess
profits taxes for ten years and the
imposition of preferential duties In
favor of American ships are expect
ed to be two of the main features
of the permanent legislation for .
United States merchant marine to be
completed within a few days by the
subcommittee of the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce.
Members of the subcommittee are
going over the draft of the measure
now, arranging its phraseology and
checking II against existing ship
ping legislation. 1t probably will
be reported to the full committee
within a week and placed before
the Senate before the end Of April.
Senator Wesley L Jones Of WASH
ington, chairman of the committee,
said yesterday that there is no
strong difference Of opinion on the
bill as 1t stands.
Shipping Board officials and men
engaged in the shipping Industry
have assisted in framing the bill
and have brought about the inclu-
sion of many features. Among
minor changes under consideration
is one which would increase to a
majority Of rs per cent the owner
ship of stock by Americans as neces-
sary before government vessels may
be sold to any company. This also
would require all directors to be
citizens instead of a majority.
Enactment of this or q similar
measure would give the Shipping
Board powers comparable to those
of the British board OF trade, which
is the purpose of Senator Jones and
other members of the committee.

for the consideration of which the
special session was called.
Way Open to Ratification.
The governor in his message on
the opening day brought up three
questions, ratification of the suf-
frage amendment revision of the
State school code and financing of
a bridge in Wilmington. There was,
however, no closed door on other
bills, and a quantity of them have
been introduced during the few mo-
ments here and there when the leg
islature has not been harassed with
suffrage.
1t seems, therefore. wise all
around to allow the Legislature to
get at some Of these matters before
tackling the suffrage amendment
again. This policy may be changed,
and tomorrow may see suffrage in
the ring again. The legislature has
had a way of acting of its own, sub
ject to change without notice. But
as things look now it is not unlikely
that a concurrent resolution will be
introduced in both houses to post
pone the vote on suffrage for per-
haps a week The special session
has two more weeks to run with pay,
and as long as 1t likes without pay.
Dupont Campaign Helps.
As all the legislators are quietly
in their homes, many on farms
throughout the State; the effect of
Alfred Dupont's active support of
ratification by Delaware cannot yet
be computed. It Is certain, how
ever, that Mr.. Dupont's friends, who
have heretofore been in doubt as to
his wishes, will now try to persuade
the Legislators to adopt his concep-
ton of the whole question of ratifi-
cation by Delaware; that 1t Is q
national more than a local issue,
and that Delaware women will soon
have the vote whether Delaware is
the thirty-sixth State to ratfy or
not. During the simmering process
of the next few days. every effort
will be made to obtain a Republican
lineup in both houses which will
go over solid for ratification.
Meanwhile suffragists are not
idle. Miss Alice Paul has left Dover
for Washington, but others are
working to prove that there is
strong suffrage sentiment in Della
ware and that the mems excuse my
are against it" is mere

UNIVERSAL TRAINING

to get universal training mixed UP
in the campaign"
Despite the efforts of party lead
ers to have Congress consider only
appropriation bills between now
and the expected series of recesses
in June, Senator wads-
worth succeeded Saturday In hav-
Ing the army reorganization bill
made the unfinished business of the
Senate Actual consideration will
begin today. Wadsworth will make
the opening argument for the bill.
To Attack "Issue Dodgers,
With Senator Chamberlain he is
expected to attack without mercy
the issue dodgers" who seek to
defeat the training provisions by
the Indirect method of shouting
economy.
Wadsworth already had INDUCED
q few curt remarks in reply to the
statements by Representative Frank
Monden, Of Wyoming, Republican
floor leader in the House, opposing
the bill on the ground that it would
cost .$6oo.000.000. Not only are the
Two Senators prepared to state that
the Mondell figures misrepresent
the facts at issue, but they are to
make II clear to the country that
there were no protests in Congress
when the appropriations for cattle
tick, sheep scabies, hog cholera and
cotton boil weevils were approved.
They are to inquire whether the
American people are less concerned
Ovar THAR
and cows and sheep. The Senator'S
insist the economy pretext" will
not hold water"
Leaders Want Delay.
1t is well known that some Of the
most powerful forces in the Repub-
lican party are opposed to having
party candidates committed on the
issue in advance of the November
elections, because il might endanger
party success in certain agricultural
sections in the West. The attitude
Of the Democrats was established in
the indirect reputation of the
President by the House caucus,
which went on record against com
pulsory universal military service
at this time" 1t has been stated
frequently about the Capitol that
many members of both houses of
Congress favor universal training,
but are afraid to vote on 1t in ad-
vance of the general elections
The vote in the Senate is said to
be close. All of the forces Of the
American Legion have been thrown
into the battle The legion is on
record for the bill and has insti-
tuted an active campaign.
