F0RDNEY PRAISES
SUBSIDY MEASURE
Life Of Merchant Marine De-
pends Upon Its Enact
ment, He Says.
By Universal Service.

SAGINAW. Mich. Deg. 4.-The
life of the American merchant ma
rine depends on the passage Of the
ship subsidy bill. Representative
Joseph w. Fordney said in an in
terview here tonight.
Fordney, one of the authors OF
the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill.
American ships cannot com.
pete with English and japanese
ships unless they are given finan-
cial aid by the Government.
THE cost Of constructing an
American ship is double that of
almost every country in the world. =
said Fordney.
Not only that. but Robert DOL
ldr. Of San Francisco. a large oper-
ator OF Pacific ocean vessels dollar
Line). told me that from actual ex-
periehce he had found il cost him
S24. 900 more a year to operate q
ship under the American flag than
under the flag of any other country.
Although both England and
Japan show great annual savings in
the operation OF vessels, they pay
ship owners large subsidies. which
add to the competition forced on the
American ship owner.
Not only would the ship subsidy
make the operating Of vessels more
profitable for the ship owner, but
II would help the American farmer
and manufacturer 20 dispose OF
products and would give the Gov.
ernment an opportunity to sell hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth
OF vessels constructed under the war
emergency"

after midnight, the news had

promptu. Healy's speech was
that OF d noble patriot. And the
speech that followed, by Glad
stone, then fighting for home
rule, was most admirable.
HEALY, when moved, could
III talk plainly. When a mill
tary officer sits in Parliament,
he is referred to "as the honor
able and gallant" member. 1t
was Healy who rose to remark
of a certain Tory colonel:
"The honorable and gallant
gentleman is a wilful and cow
ardly liar" When the speaker
said solemnly, "Mr. Healy, l
name you," and he was led from
the floor, Healy mounted hast
lily to the Prince of Wales sec
tion of the gallery and continued
his demonstration there. A fine
lot of fighting men were Parnell,
Dillon, O'Brien, Redmond and
Healy, nearly all gone.
That Healy, after thirty-eight
years in parliament for Ireland
and four years in retirement,
should now cross the Irish Sea
as Governor General Of the Irish
Free State and actually repre-
senting the person of the English
King in that Free State govern
ment, shows that anything is
possible in politics.

delegation in the Near East peac'
conference, in an exclusive inter
view with International News SerV
fee tonight. denied that Russia seek
to dominate the Turkish straits. HI
summed up Russia's position q
follows:
There are three solutions Of the
problem of the Turkish straits:
Ffrst-Domination by Russia,
which we do not want.
Second-Control of the water
ways by an international commits
sion. which would leave them at
the mercy Of the strongest naval
power.
Third-Restoration of the straits
TO Turkey, the rightful owner, al
lowing Turkey to fortify them and
closing them to all wdrships ex-
cept those belonging to Turkey.
Russia has suffered enough In
vasions with the straits open to
the warships Of all powers First,
there was Denikin's invasion. and
then Wrangels.
Russian and Turkish interests
are identical regarding the Oar
danelles. Bosphorus and Sea OF
Marmora. Paper guarantees are
worthless. With Turkey a SOW
ereign power and the straits for
titled she could open the Daf-
danelles IL she needs the West
against the East. or she could
open the Bosphorus II she needs
the East against the West. This
regime worked satisfactorily Tor
q century.
Lord Curzon said this morning
that I represented Turkey as well
as the Russian republics. / say
that | also represent England, as
the oldest British policy before
the war was to keep the Turkish
straits closed to warshtps.
In 1912, during the Turco-Italian
war. the Italian fleet wanted to
force the straits to lombard Con-
stantinople. The British insisted
that the closure Of the straits
to warships was a sacred diplo-
matte policy that could not be
violated.
The only other solution of the
problem is universal naval dis
armament. II ever there Is an
other Washington conference. Rus
STA would be very glad TO suggest
and urge this policy.
The Rumanian proposal for dis
armament OF the Black Sea and
opening the Turkish Straits TO
warships is impossible. 1t means
putting all the Black Sea coun-
tries at the mercy of the fleets
of the Western powers.
