WORD ''SUBS|DY"
 HAS BECOME B|G BUCABOQ IN J. $.
Representative Green Is In Favor Administration
 Project

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.-Represen- tative Greene, of Massachusetts, who Is chairman of the house merchant marine committee, told the house that the administration shipping bill would create an adequate merchant marine would retain in the country $300,0O0,- 900 annually spent in freight money" give work to thousands of men and guaraYtee the nation of again being faced with the necessity of building a wartime merchant fleet.
 'Gt is because American shipping in the foreign trade alone of all our in- dustries has not been aided in the past that it has gone down. In this bill we are seeking to remedy long years of discrimination and injustice" !" said Mir. Greene.
 The word subsidy" MT. Greene said, had become bugaboo to some and he asked the house to disassociate it from their minds in considering the measure.
 'EWhat are the irrigation dams and watersheds set up by the Federal government in cooperation with cer- tain states, if not form of subsidizing land owners, stock raisers and agri- culturalists," he asked.
 What are the land e""nts and fran chises given to railroads? Subsidy, What are the advances made for high ways? Subsidy. What are the f@ mortgage banks for, if not to provide those concerned at least an indirect subsidy. These are beneficent appli- cations of a principle with which the public is thoroughly "~-''ia-. Why deny its potential beneflcence in an- other industry because it ha'
 come under a different designation?
 MT. Greene said the bill provided a merchant marine fund of four million annually to which would be added ten per cent of the annual customs du- ties, amounting to about thirty mil lion. Excess earnings of ships re ceiving compensation. would also go into the fund.
 Compensation to ships would be au- thorized for periods not exceeding ten years. Even with this aid, he said American shipowners would have to show initiative, because the compen- sation would not equalize the differ ence in labor costs between American and foreign ships.

 rof lake. During their absence the men staked a number of promising oil claims and at later date will return
 to the scene of their activities and do further work to ascertain the proba- bilities of their holdings. In giving an account of their trip, it was stated that practically the en-
 tire country has been staked in oil To-
 cations, the assumed field. now rang

 cations.

 made. and the promise is great. this
