Marine BILL
President Dare s
Foe S to Defeat
Ship Measure
BY PAUL Il. MALLON


WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-In
q fighting message, President
Harding today dared the foes Of
the administration ship subsidy
bill TO assume the responsibility
for defeating IL.
Declaring that no proposition
placed before congress ever met
a more resolute hostility" the
president. In a message delivered
in person to the extraordinary
session Of congress. challenges
his opponents TO meet the issue
fairly.
The president went on record -
being opposed TO the repeal Of laws
such as the La Folhette seamen's
act. designed TO raise the standard
of labor on American ships. saying
''merest justice" demanded their con-
tlnuance until all the world had been
brought TO the same level These
laws. some shipping interests con-
tend. make II impossible TO compete
with foreign marines.
The president started speaking at
1895 y. IN.
The president devoted practically
all OF his message to vigorous ad-
vocacy Of the subsidy. mentioning
only one other national problem
additional relief for agriculture.
This and other questions win be
dealt with In his message to the
regular session which viii meet on
December 4.
This problem can no longer b
ignored. said the president Its at
tempted solution cannot longer be
postponed. The failure of congress
TO act decisively will be no less dis
astrous than adverse action"
Carrying the fight with aggressive
ness to the ensmy's camp. Harding
said he challenged every insinuation
OF favored interests and the enrich
ment OF the special few at the ex-
pense Of the public treasury. I am.
first OF all. appealing TO save the
treasury"
Thruout his speech, the presi-
dent argued that the subsidy
would save money TO tho treas
ury because Of the large losscs
still being piled up BY the ship
ping board.
These were estimated at $50. .o00..
900 year. while the president said
the cost OF the subsidy would be half
that amount.
The executive made q fervent
plea that America again be
raised to a position Of eminence
among the maritime nations of
the world.
Striking directly at the opposi-
tion to the measure, the presh
dent said one Of three courses II
open to congress:
"The first Is constructive - enact
the pending bill. under which. I
firmly believe. an American mer-
chant marine. privately owned and
privately operated. but serving all
tho people and always available to
the government In any emergency.
may be established and maintained"
he said.
"The second is obstructive - con-
tinue government operation and at
tendant government losses and dis
courage private enterprise by gov.
eminent competition under which
losses are met by the public treas
ury and witness the continued losses
and deterioration until the colossal
