The Manned Subsidy Bill.

Nobody can tell what will be the
fate of the ship subsidy bill in the
United States Senate. But it is plain
to any eye that in the form it has
come through the House of Repre-
sentatives it has been keelhauled al
most beyond recognition by those
who started it on its hazardous legis-
lative voyage.
AS the House bill now goes to the
4. Senate there Is no specific provision
to keep subsidized ships bone dry;
but, after all, this is matter, and a
very vital matter, comprehended in
the general dry laws, the rulings of
the courts and the administrative
policy of the Executive branch of
the Government.
American vessels are to~be compen-
sated for carrying the mails, and
this is proper enough subvention.
But shippers do not get the income
tax exemption which was originally
proposed for freighting their goods
III <AIitilNail DOltOlliGs
One-half the immigrants coming
to the United States are to be car
ried under the American flag, but
this is gift not of bread but stone
so long as other national laws con-
t!nue an all but impenetrable and
unsurmountable wall against the i'm
migrants that the country needs and
that would come here if they were
permitted to come.
There is to be a compensation fund
derived from 10 per cent. of the GUS
toms duties, from tonnage dues and
from similar charges. This compen-
sation is to be paid on basis Of
gross tons of shipping operated, mile
age covered and speed attained But
1t is mot yet certain whether ship
owners can count on this fund indef-
initely or whether, when the bill is
Clear out of Congress, they will get
payments from the fund merely by
grace of annual Congress vote. A
man or a corporation will think
twice before putting millions into the
shipping business on the theory of a
supporting subsidy that is dependent
in fact upon the annual caprice of
Congress.
Thus the subsidy bill leaves the
House so manned and disfgured that
It cannot appeal strongly to prac-
tical shipping men as something on
which they can safely or even hope
fully invest their money and stake
their business careers. And what
further carving the now mutilated
and misshapen subsidy bill must un-
dergo beneath the Senate butcher
knife 10 deprive il of the power OF
locomotion or even OF animation
nobody knows. But, whatever the
merits or demerits of subsidy as a
principle, this doesn't look good as
a subsidy measure capable of doing
anything effective TO maintain great
and successful American merchant
marine against the grinding compe-
tition Of the world.

Six Day Bicycle Races and Rights

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Please
answer the following questions:
i. says that in years gone by IN
six day races the riders rode continu-
ally for six days without making .
stop and that they ate their meals for
the six days while riding on theiI
wheels. B says this is impossible.
2. A says that a naturalized American
citizen. born in Italy or the Argentine
would be liables TO be compelled to dc
military duty In his native country II
he should be there on visit when a
war broke out. B says that this is in
correct. as once man swears alle-
glance to the United States and becomes
n citizen his native land has no claim
upon him in wartime.

The Silver Half Moon.

The New York National Guard
has adopted as its badge silver half
moon. No more appropriate symbol
OF patriotism and devotion to duty
could have been chosen.
To look back at the beginnings Of
the Empire State, though visitors
like VERAzzANo might have entered
its waters it was the coming Of
HENRY HUDSON in 1909 that meant
occupation by the white man, trade,
settlement by families, homes with
women and children, tilling Of the
soil and civil government.
The half moon became the symbol
of those patriots. the Sea Beggars of
iceland, in 1872. 1t was significant
of tolerance, equality and freedom.
Hundreds of these SCARED and des-
perate fellows were probably Wal
looms, men OF the same race as the.
settlers who in, 1924 established the
first Caucasian homes in the Hudson
and Delaware valleys. 1t is GER
tain that their leaders. besides
bearing Walloon names. are re-
corded as having been born in south
ern Belgic Land. To this day Ley
deners have their Thanksgiving Day.
worship and eat hutch-putch on Oc-
tober 4, the anniversary OF the relief
by the Sea Beggars of Leyden, then
besieged by the Spanish. Hutch
putch is stew of meat and vege-
tables such as ancestors of the Ley
deners found in the cooking pots Of
the decamping Spaniards. The fam
lily idea still prevails and all, the
brides and bridegrooms married in
the previous year ride together in
festal procession.
| What in place OF material favor or
spoil or medals or remittance OF taxes
did the citizens agree to accept from
WILLIAM the Silent as the reward for
their patriotism? They chose uni
versity. No liberty can be assured
without intelligence. In Leyden from
1872 to 1872 no fewer than five thou
sand English speaking students were
trained; their names are given in
Peacock's Index. Besides Irish,
Scotch and Welsh. those English
youth shut out from the State church
universities of England went to Ley
den In addition to hundreds Of
other Americans, one President, JOHN
QUINCY ADAMS. was student in this
university. All this the half moon
recalls.
HUDsoN's Half Moon was not
named after the lunettes. famed Of
old in field fortification, such as
those which at Gettysburg. on Culps
Hill, held in their curves the Union
guns that nearly annihilated EwELL' s
Louisiana Tigers. 1t was named in
honor of the Sea Beggars' silver
crescent, on which were engraved
notices in defiance of Spain. In Oc-
tober, 1922, when the red star ana
crescent flags of KEMAL and the green
banner OF Islam. in Constantinople
were published in Dutch illustrated
papers the descriptive letter press be-
! meath the picture used the word
-half moon. not crescent.
The fitness of this symbol, even
apart from historic fact, for "a State
| like New York with it's SURPRISING
educational facilities is manifest.
Behind the Half Moon were order.
science, republic, federal govern
ment, freedom Of conscience, free
public schools open to both sexes,
free printing. In a word. 1t repre-
sented the new age Of broadening
liberty under law.
