Indirect Aids Highly important,
Head Of Pacific Mail
Line Says. ..
BY EDWIN j.. CLAPP.

NEW YORK, June S.-The Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, establish
ed in 1S4S, is the oldest steamship
company under the American flag.
For years the Pacific Mail has been
exposed on the Pacific to the severe
completion Of the Japanese lines,
with their cheap labor. asked Gale
H. Carter, president Of the Pacific
Mail, what effect the ship subsidy
legislation will have upon the ability
of American lines on the Pacific
to meet Japanese competition. Mr..
Carter said:
"As valuable as Is the mileage
subsidy, which only partly equahzes
the higher operating cost of Amer
lean vessels, the most valuable pro-
vision In the bill In the indirect aids
to American shipping, aids which
will not cost the taxpayers a cent.
For example, the bill declares
trade between the United States and
the Philippines to be coastwise trade,
which must be carried In American
vessels, just as our trade with
Hawaii and Porto Rico. American
lines will thus be assured certain
volume of trans-Pacific traffic which
they now share with foreign rivals.
when this shipping legislation
has been in. effect a few years the
American flag should have on the
Pacific a representation proportion
ate to the magnitude of American
foreign trade interests there"

By J. BART CAMPBELL,

Ignoring alike the suggestions
from opponents that the Treasury
cannot stand a bonus drain and
hints from Administration spokes-
men that President Harding will
veto the measure, Senator Nc
Cumber (Rep.) of North Dakota
reported the long-delayed and
much-discussed bonus bill to the
Senate today with a lengthy re-
port favoring its passage.
The bill puts squarely up to
the Administration the payment
of a soldiers bonus from interest
to be collected from the British
and other war debts. McCumber
cited funding operations of the
Treasury to show the Govern
ment's financial condition Is
steadily improving.
Report Voices Optimism.
The keynote of the Senate
Finance Committees report was one
of optimistic belief in the ultimate
availability of foreign debt pay
ments. and in the ultimate ability
of the Government to meet the
bonus drain without recourse to
further taxation.
The bill is expected to slumber
on the Senate calendar for a few
days, and then an effort will be
made to displace the tariff and rush
II to passage.
McCumber explained in his re-
port that the BILL; a modification
- k.k l,xr hn W. q
intended to correct the inequai-
ties suffered by those who per-
formed actual soldiers duties and
received meager soldiers wages"
and excluded from its benefits all
those who were given commissions
while performing merely clerical
service in the departments" It's
benefits also were limited to those
below the grade Of captain in the
army or marine corps and lieuten-
ant in the navy, he stated. ,
In discussing the application Of the
foreign debt to the bonus, McCumber
expressed the hope that the World
War Debt Commission would make
such progress toward refunding the
demand obligations of foreign coun-
tries into long-term obligations as to
secure the latter ''in the very near
future" and render 1t possible for the
foreign governments ito provide for
the Immediate payment of interest
thereon" so that such interest can
be used toward defraying the ex-
penses" Of the bonus.
Provision i'm British Budget.
""The budget recently presented to
the House OF Commons provides for
the installment of interest due the
United States on the Indebtedness Of
Great Britain payable November,
1922" McCumber pointed out. I'm
view Of this fact II IL believed that
the United States can count on re-
ceiving interest payments from Bng-
land from now on, such payments
asgregating about s2oo,0oo,ooo per
"The March, 1929, revised estimates
