is In A SERIOUS MOOD
OVER MERCHANT MARINE ISSUE

marine relief. Subsidy" said Senator Ransdell.
has been very offensive word to the Ameri-
people. not alone those of one party, but
those of both parties. Measures Of relief along
the lines of subsidy have time and again been
presented to the American Congress and time
and again have they been refused. But the sit
uation is altogether different now. There are
reasons now why we should accept this subsidy
that did not exist in the past and the measures
of relief advocated by the President under the
advice of the Shipping Board and their advisers.
refer not alone subsidy. but to several other
important matters"
Senator Ransdell explained that great bene-
fit would accrue to the cotton growers of the
south, the grain growers of the west and manu-
facturers everywhere in the rebate Of per cent
on the total amount of freight paid on exports
and imports. He said that the provision in the
bill to build up the naval reserve with the mer-
chant marine should commend it to all thought
full men. He insisted that it would be impossible
to maintain the United States Navy on parity
with Great Britain without a strong merchant
marine. The merchant marine now existent Is
not well balanced. the senator contended 1t is
short of frst-class combined freight and pas
senger vessels Of speed and there are other in
equalities which would be corrected.
Senator Ransdell called attention to the fact
that the pending bill was the joint work Of
democrats and republicans the Shipping
Board, and, therefore, not to be considered a
partisan measure. He suggested that If the
bill is to be opposed by considerable number
in the House Senate on the ground OF sub
sidy. the opponents must be prepared to offer
some better plan, and he asserted that the
American people will so insist. As senator Of
the minority party, he pledged hmstelf to stand
by the general principles enunciated by Presi-
dent Harding. in his address to Congress-.
X
Chairman Lasker of the United States Ship
ping Board, addressing the same meeting of the
National Merchant Marine Association COM
mented upon Senator Ransdelrs reference - the
non-potical aspect of the board. 1T is my de-
light to state" he said, that the only manner
in which we ever know that the Shipping Board
is bipartisan board is when we hear it re-
ferred to by someone else. The seven members
of the present board have never realized that
they democrats or republicans. We have
been in office than eight and one-half
months. and save two matters of the
smallest Importance. we have never had
divided vote
Referring to the pending project Chairman
Lasker said that it represents the enthusiastic
and unanimous view of the Shipping Board, none
of whose members looks on the board po-
litical organization or on its affairs as having
Evening star., 1922-03-05

to do with politics be brought into politics.
Each member of the board is inspired by
the knowledge and belief that this is an all
American problem the merchant marine)
which has come to the forefront in our national
life in a major way, and which cannot longer be
put off in solution"
Deep interest is felt in congressional and
departmental circles the friction now cur
rent between the appropriation makers of the
House and the War and Navy departments in
the proposed appropriations for the Army and
the Navy in the next year and deficiencies in
the appropriations for this year.
So serious has the situation become that
President Harding has found it advisable to
step in and mediate between the legislative and
administrative branches. He is seeking TO
pour oil on the troubled waters and bring about
a. better understanding between the appropriat-
ing powers that be and the heads of the depart
ments for which the funds designed
!. X X X
Briefly, the squabble is this: The congress-
men contend that certain proposed sums for the
Navy sufficient in amount, and the Navy
heads say that they not and that II the
amounts are not increased the Navy will be dis
abled. The congressman maintain that the ap-
preparations for the Army must be cut down
and the personnel reduced. and the Army heads
