get the subsidy.
The president did not say that ship would earn
just much subsidy whether il carried pound OF
cargo or whether il loaded full.
The president did not say that only owners of ships
running on regular lines would receive subsidy. The
president did not say that the ships that run on
regular lines are those devoted not to commerce bu!
to the hauling of passengers and mall devoted to the
hauling of goods owned by the operators of the ship
such the Standard Oil companys tank line steam
ers the United Fruit companys fruit ships, etc.
The president did not tell congress that besides
the 80 million dollars going out of the treasury
golden flood would be stopped from flowing into the
treasury by of the fact that those ship owners
who enjoy subsidies-but other American ship
owner-coud deduct from their income taxes their
profits the operation Of the ships and If they

penny Of subsidy under the proposed bill and their
owners will not get any rebates. drawbacks. ex-
emptions or other handouts from, thru or by the
treasury. The president did not say that il was
proposed to lend 125 million dollars to the preferred
class of American ship owners at per cent year
while business men, farmers. manufacturers and ordi-
nary folk in general pay from 6 to 10 per cent
II the president had told congress all these things
