SUBSIDY HELD
UP BY BONUS
Congress Threatens to BaIk
Plan Till Vets Win
BY LAURENCE N. BENEDICT

WASHINGTON. March No
bonus for the shipping interests un.
til after the soldiers get their
bonus"
This was being seized upon as a
slogan today by opponents in con-
gress of President Hardlng's plan for
direct aid OF $4,000. 600 a year TO
American ship operators.
However. sentiment in both houses
address 20 congress yesterday. sub
hitting a definite and comprehensive
subsidy program. had broken down
20 an unexpected degree the long.
standing opposition TO such a nreas-
ure.
Harding has thrown down the
gauntlet TO congress by virtually de-
claring that the subsidy program is
''the last and only chance" 10 save
the American merchant marine
Leaders Of both parttes admit that
II would be unwise to continue the
present plan OF having a deficit OF
hundreds OF millions piling UP thru
continued shipping board operation
OF the marine. What TO do with the
large number OF government ships
unless the bill Is passed Is a most
difficult problem.
Opponents of the subsidy viii at
tack II on the ground that the fed
eral government should not give
money 10 private interests. They
will also attack an apparent plan OF
the subsidy advocates 10 make IL ap-
pear that the subsidy will not take
money directly out of the treasury.
Tho subsidy program calls for a d.
version OF customs receipts TO a re-
volving fund TO he given the ship op-
orators. This. u Is claimed. Is in
reality n direct expenditure from the
treasury because otherwise all re-
ceipts so into the treasury.
Efforts win he made by the ship
ping board 10 rush the program so
that II may dispose OF all its ships.
Should the bill be passed. skeleton
organizations would have to be main-
| tnined TO administer IL.
Senator Borah will lead the fight
against the measure in the senate.
81 don't think this Is the time for
bonus or subsidy" he said.

The Ship.
Subsidy
(EDITORIAL)

"a ~s D%h %@tfy
posed to the principle.
Have we grown '1ess
provincial than we once
were," as the president
believes?
We shall see. We shall
see, too, whether our op.
position to a ship subsidy
was all "provincialism."
The question of a sub
sidy is peculiarly oppor-
tune at this time. The
navy and the merchant
marine are inseparable,
however much we might
like to have it otherwise.
"The merchant ma
rine." declared President
Harding. "is universally
recognized as the second
line OF naval defense"
and now that we are on
the verge of signing a
naval limitations treaty
with the four other great
maritime nations of the
world, we cannot afford
10 overlook that potent
fact.
Regardless Of what
this country may do in
the matter, Great Britain
and Japan, at any rate,
are not going 10 scrap
their merchant shipping
along with that portion
of their fighting craft
condemned by the Wash
ington conference. To
the contrary, having by
international agreement
limited the size Of their
navies, they viii devote
more attention, time and
money than ever before
10 the development Of
their commercial fleets
fleets which, in time Of
war, would be instantly
converted into indispenS>
able auxiliaries to the
fighting ships of the
line.
The United States
must have a merchant
fleet unless she is to be
hopelessly outclassed on
the seas by at least
two of the five powers
signing with us the naval
limitations treaty.
The fleet, as long IS
peace shall last, can and
must carry Americas
surplus goods to foreign
marts and fetch back to
our ports the raw ma
terials and finished
products required by the
citizens of the country.
Cheaper building costs
and cheaper operating
costs obtaining in for
eign countries offer a
real handicap to Ameri-
can shipping. and some
form of government en-
couragement may be
found necessary to over
come it.
But whether or not
there is a subsidy should
depend entirely upon the
conditions governing il.
In the old days it was
not so much provincial
ism" on the part of the
public as it was the GER
tain knowledge that the
money barons were try
ing to get their fists into
the peoples till. which
stood in the way of a
subsidy.
If there develops now
the slightest foundation
for the suspicion that a
subsidy will mean any
thing like that, then the
public will again lay
itself open to the charge
of "provincialism." For
it will undoubtedly be
against a subsidy in that
case.
If, however. a way is
found to make up the
honest difference be-
tween foreign operation
and American operation,
then the president may
find the public has
changed somewhat, and
is with him.

Synthetic STnkers,

While the world Is still disturbed with the many grave problems of re- adjustment, 1t Is pleasing to note that science is mak' 7g skillful progress and is constantly marching onward toward a brighter and b. tter day. In this con nection 1t is noted that among the newest of scientific triumphs Is the synthetic doughnut.
 This victory of mind over matter is said to incorporate all the elements of the plebeian or lunchroom species of sinker. There Is the synthetic armor- plate or covering with which the little doughnut protects itself from attack by It's arch-enemy, man There is likes wise the synthetic interior composed of the usual adamantine substances also the synthetic hole, which is perhaps the best part of any doughnut, and last but not least, the synthetic in- digestion.
 Let us hope that science will not rest on her laurels but will press ever forward until the synthetic ham and eggs, synthetic buckwheat and sausage and synthetic pork and beans have been rescued from the limbo of dreamy possibilities.-Thrift Magazine.
