In message tomorrow, will provide
for raising a revolving fund of about
$50 .000. 900 year through diversion OF a
percentage OF the customs receipts II
was understood today from callers
at the White House.
President Harding was said today
to have completed tho main outlines of

Bills carrying out tho ship subsidy
plan, II was said. would be introduced
simultaneously In the Senate and
House by Senator Jones and Repre-
sentative Green, OF Massachusetts
chairman respectively of the Merchant
Marine committee of the Senate and
House.
Advocates OF the plan hold that the
fact that II will not require n direct
appropriation will probably cause II
to meet with more favor than former
ship subsidy schemes.

official agricultural Senate bloc, after
a conference with the President today
said the President believed he had q
plan which would be supported by tho
farmers and the country generally.
