ship SUBSIDY OF
THIRTY MILLIONS
PLAN OF HARDING
President to Recommend Creation of Revolv-
ing Fund Through Diversion of Customs
Receipts; Proposal To Be Presented To
Congress In Message Tomorrow

Washington, Feb 27The ship subsidy plan which Presi
dent Harding expected to recommend to congress in
sage tomorrow will provide for raising revolving fund Of
about $50 900 year through diversion of percentage
of the customs receipts it understood today from
callers at the White House. President Harding said to
have completed the main outlines of his message.
Bills carrying out the ship subsidy pan it said will
be introduced simultaneously in the senate and house by Sem
aor and Representative Green of Massachusetts, chair
respectively of the merchant marine committee of the
senate and house.
Advocates of the plan hold that the fact that it will not
require direct appropriation probably will cause it to meet
with more favor than former ship subsidy schemes.
Senator Capper chairman of the unofficial agricultural
senate bloc after conference with the president today said
the president believed he had plan which would be
ported by the farmers and the country generally.

Gain of 300 Per Cent

Once more building records fol
Salem have dropped to dust and
during the present month the city
has hung up new construction
figures which serve to dwarf those

During the 2S days which come

Also, officials point out, these
figures are nearly as twice as
great as those of last month, when
January, with $S5,2O0O spent for
building, sported an increase of
400 per cent over the same month
in 1921.

WILL ASK
BIG LOAN
Delegates To Genoa To
Concede To All De
mands of Funds Are
Assured

Moscow, Feb. 27.-(By Associ-
ated Press. THE soviet delega-
tion to Genoa will carry instruc-
tions to grant all concessions de-
manded provided big reconstruc-
tion loan can be obtained. II this
loan cannot be arranged, then
from the Russian point of view,
the conference has only been OF
moral value Of recognition of the
present government.
The basic reason for this atti-
tude is the famine. 1t is only
within the last few weeks that the
leaders Of the soviet have realized
just how desperate is the fooa
situation. So long as the famine
starves to death the peasants and
the remainder borgeoisie, though
it be on a scale or millions, the
soviet leaders are untouched ano
rather indifferent.
But the famine now Is slowly
but surely encroaching on and en-
circling their Mos
cow-the soviet representatives,
sent to every part of Russia fol
food, report there is less and less
to be had, that beginning with
March, the favored red army will
begin to starve and that each sue
ceeding month will be worse, un-
til July when harvests, more or
less scant, may relieve the situa-
tion.
What may happen between now
and the summer months Is trou-
bling the soviet leaders. If a big
loan is arranged, the situation
can be saved. If not, the hundred
million or SO dollars in the soviet
treasury will have 10 go for food
and even that may not save the
country from anarchy.
The frightened attitude of the
soviet is shown by its daily
changing attitude towards the
American relief administration.
When the Americans first came in
September, they were received
with scant courtesy, but with each
month they have been better
treated until now they are not
permitted, but asked to direct food
shipments.
II the Moscow leaders do not
obtain outside help, they realize
their power Is doomed. Already
the Ukraine has shown its inde-
pendence and has refused to let
any Of its food to be drained off
to Moscow or for the red army sta
toned elsewhere.
The Caucasus has some food but
its attitude is doubtful. In the
Kuban, where there also is food,
hostility to outside shipments has
been active since last summer.
