PRESIDENT WILL ] SUGGEST 4 SHIP ! SUBSIDY POLICY
Special Recommendation To Be Sent To Congress In
 January = Experts At H Work on Data

Washington, December 2.-Presi- dAent Harding will send a special n nYlessage to Congress early in Jan J 4ary recommending the establish nEhent of ship subsidy policy blythe U United States, it was learned today.
 The message will contain definite Il 4Escommendat tfons and will take up tllhe whole subject of the American m. terchant marine and methods of in- eng easing its utility and assuring it's bermanenee. Studies are now in prog sress for it's preparation.
 Chairman Lasker of the shipping board and other officials directly concerned with the marine situation Ahave given their assistance in formu- l kating the details of subsidy pro- pJ1psals. The amount of money neces- lkry, 1t was said, has not yet been de'Atermined. One of the obstacles to- W &1rd preferential treatment of Amer ictsan vessels by the government lies lnsl series of treaties negotiated with otther maritime nations forbidding su~ch action and although the mer- clklant marine act of 1913 contained n Mandatory instructions that all such tITreaties be abrogated President
  E gibress that it is impossible to enforce tf4at provision of the law. As an alAternative to this it Is expected that thte subsidy policy will be advanced.
 nChairman Lasker said tonight the board was making special st zsudy of ship subsidies. Among the usfbjects under investigation by a spe- cisk1 committee of the board are ship pipbg routes, types of vessels, revenue, W ,f ges, immigration, operation, insur- ar7 bee and labor, with reference to the be e@aring of each upon the amount and m Fethod of applying a subsidy.
 NThe board appointed by MT. Lasker to n make the subsidy study included Dli6 Emery R. Johnson, dean of the w Jharton school, University of Penn- Winthrop L. Marvin, vice pr kesident of the American Steamship ONV. ners' association; p9n- ,dr'ira1 H. H. .n Rousseau and Clarence S. Will liak4ms, Daniel H Cox, a naval archi- teqft, formerly of the shipping board. ansd Groyenor M. Jones, formerly of thits department of commerce.

December 2.-(Spe- fal)-Without a word of argument. le state and plaintiff in the case fom Montgomery county involving te validity of section S4 of the gen Eal revenue laws of 1919. under Ihich tax assessments were made r two years. submitted their con- intions to the supreme court Fri ly. It probably will be several feeks before final decision is sached because of the great im- brtance of the case and the study hich will be necessary.
 This case probably involves more Ian any other which has been sub (itted to the supreme court. If the tate wins, the right of the legisla- ure to provide for biennial assess hents for taxation will have been established. If the state loses it will ace 8 problem because no new as- .essments were made last year and he time has passed when property aay be assessed for the past tax ear. The state Is now collecting ihe taxes for the second year of the jennial assessment.
