Ship Subsidy
Bill Speeded
Before House
Harding's Threat of an
Extra Session Results
in Quieh Introduction
of Amended Measure
rrnr rh. rribun... washlngton Bur.aa

Prom The TribuHe's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June l4.--President
Harding's ship subsidy bill was for
mally launched to-day In the House
and final preparations begun for a
stormy voyage through tho lower
branch a. Congress. Admittedly, as a
result Of pressure from the Executive.
Republican leaders announced the
measure will be taken up next week.
They hope to pass it after four or five
days OF debate.
The general run Of members got their
first glimpse Of the Sh piping Boards
plan FOR new American merchant
marine when Chairman Greene Of the
Merchant Marine and Fisheries Com
mittce introduced the bill to-day. IL
contains many changes over the orig
inal draft sent 10 the Capitol by the
President. For the most part they in
tended 10 clarity and simplify the leg.
islation, but many Of them are designed
10 smooth its way by meeting, so far
as possible, objection Of the opposi-
tion.
The full membership Of the Merchant
Marine Committee will meet tomorrow
for the first time 20 consider the
measure, which was referred 10 IL
to-day. Chairman Greene believes
a favorable report will be made be-
fore the end Of this week. A majority
OF the members Of the committee are
nov prepared 20 vote for il. ii is un-
dorstood. but they want to give les op-
moments in the committee every con-
sideration before taking final action
20 prevent any charges Of steam roller
tactics.
The Rules Committee will meet next
Monday 10 make the fnal arrangement
which must precedo the fight on the
floor Of the House There is little TO
indicate the character Of the rule they
will report for governing consideration
OF the bill, but the attitude OF Mr. Mon
dell. Republican floor leader. and other
prominent Republicans on this phase
OF their problem Is for the utmost In
tolerance Of its critics. They would
reserve only the power 70 shut of
palpable filibustering.
Though no complete poll on how the
House divides on the qpuestion has
been taken by leaders, principally be-
cause only few had seen the bill be-
fore to-day, there are evidences Of a
feeling among them that its supporters
have gained the odds since President
Harding threatened 20 call an extra
session 10 pass the measure. The sud
den decision 10 take up the bill imme-
diately obviously means that its sup
porters are confident Of enough votes
20 permit It's consideration.

FITZSIMMONS MISSES
OPPORTUNITY.

Bill Fitzsimmons has been giving good &C
count of himself as head of the Rock Island
police department, but evidently he is still
laboring under the delusion that he voted right
when he sustained Mayor. H. Nj. schriver in
dismissal of the fire and police board. That
act of the mayors was grave blunder, as sub
sequent events have proved, and Fitzsimmons
should be courageous enough to put himself
right in the eyes of the people of Rock Island
If Fitzsimmons has decided to stick to a sink
ing ship he can't blame anybody but himself
if some day he finds himself hopelessly remote
from landing place. Mayor Schriver is privi-
legged to defy public opinion in the matter of the
fire and police board investigation involving
the suspended chief, but he can't expect
others to sustain him when he is pursuing an
absolutely impossible course. Fitzsimmons
missed a golden opportunity last Monday, at
the meeting of the city commission, when he
failed to vote affirmativey on the resolution
introduced by Commissioner Martin T. Rudgren
instructing the mayor to recall the three mem
bers OF the ousted fire and police board and
allow them to proceed with their investigation
Of charges that have been preferred against
Thomas Cox, the suspended chief Of police.

AMERICAN SINGERS.

Why are there not more American singers
In American grand opera! Lila Robson. an
american artist lohg with the Metropolitan
Grand Opera company, says it is because Amer
leans do not support native American singers.
1T is up to the American audiences" she ex-
plains. THE ronghest thing about the debut
Of an American is the Indifference, II not open
adverse criticism, Of ones couhtrymen. II a
spaniard or Italian or 4 Russian is to make his
debut, the house will be OVERLOOKING with Span
iards or Italians or Russians They shout and
clap and make themselves q power in influ-
eHcing the opinion OF the management and the
rest of the audience. Americans sit on their
hands or else applaud so gingerly that's all the
heart is taken out Of it. When an American
cast is advertised, Americans should buy out
the house."
There is no longer any question Of Ameri-
can musical ability. Yet American singers and
players of high talent 60 largely unrecosnized.
Usually they make their regulations abroad
before their fellow-countrymen will accept
them. 1t is strange that when Americans are
so eager to champion American excellence in
other lines of endeavor, they should be SO I'M
patriotic in this field.

Ever and again comes living proof that ne

incidents leading up to it.

CAPTAIN WALK cENSURED.

Just as soon as Captain Walk of the freight
er West Faralon had rescued those who still
alive after the City of Honolulu
burned, he sent wireless message broadcast
telling of the rescue. The news agencies
ashore at once spread the good news. But
Captain Walk was censured officially by the
shipping board for violating what it's repre-
sentative calls lone of the iron-clad rules of
steamship companies that a ship captain
should not talk to the press, particularly on a
disaster at sea-
Captain Walks talk to the press" conveyed
to the anxious ones ashore who had friends or
relatives aboard the City of Honolulu the as
surance that the burning ship had not gone
down with all ony board. But Captain Walk
did the right thing, and bureaucratic official
censure' is not censure FOR him, but censupe
for the small minds that cannot get away, even
for moment, from rote and rule.
