RECOMMENDING OF SHIPPING
BOARD ENDORSED BY PREsl-
DENT HARDING.
CONGRESS is FAVORABLE
Huge Sum is involved AS II Will Cost
Approximately Fifteen Million
First Year And Probably
Thirty Million Yearly.

Washington.-Direc aid to the AM
crican merchant marine at cost to
the government OF at least Sic, 100000
for the first year and ultimately of
possibly $30,000,000 annually, was rec
commended by President Harding in
his address to Congress recently.
The president endorsed, in gener-
al way, recommendations made to him
by the Shipping Board. Besides di-
rect compensation for American YES
sells engaged in foreign trade, the pro-
gram involves the sale of government
ships at present market values, col
lective loan of $125,OOO,OO0 and various
forms of indirect aid.
While President Harding estimated
that maximum expenditure annually
for the 10-year period, during which it
is proposed to continue the subsidy,
would be not more than $30,000,000,
provision is made for the creation of a
merchant marine fund amounting prob
ably to somewhat more than that fund.
Bills prepared by the Shipping
Board and embodying the administra-
ton recommendations were introduced
by Representative Greene of Massa-
chusetts. chairman of the House com
mittee on Merchant Marine and Fish
cries, and by Senator Jones OF
Washington, chairman of the Senate
Committee on Commerce.
The Merchant Marine Committee is
expected to report the bill to the
House without much delay. The Sen
ate committee also is certain to take
favorable action. The bills probably
will pass in Congress at the present
session.
Comments by members Of Congress
indicated that the administration
might not encounter quite so much OPP
position as was anticipated Senator
Capper of Kansas, leader of the agr:-
cultural bloc, said he was inclined to
support the bill. He said that the
farm bloc as such would not oppose it.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, chairman
of the Senate Committee on Agricul-
ture, however, expressed his opposi-
ton to any cash subsidy to American
ships. He said he did not believe the
's1AP9yeiS VI the country Wouiu laVOr
the plan. Senator Borah of Idaho
was another Republican who declared
his opposition to the subsidy program.
President Harding repeated his pre-
vious endorsement of the st. Lawrence
waterway project and linked it up
with. the program TO rthe assistance of
the American merchant marine.
Coupling of the two projects may win
considerable support for the ship sub
sidy project from the Middle West.
