Farmers Favor
Ship Subsidy,
Federation Head
]. r. Howard, President Of
Organization, Tells Joint
Meeting Of Committees
Stand Of Middle West.

Washington. May III, - Especial
1elegraml-Ihe interest which the
middle ives, has IN building up the
American merchant marine was de-
seribed today by .J. X. Howard. en-
pressing the view OF the American
Farm Bureau federation. which
Claims more than $4,000 farmer
members. Mr.. Howard is the led.
efation's president.
Mr.. Howard addressed the Joint
meeting oi The senate committee on
commerce and the house committee
on merchant marine aud fisheries IN
favor of the merchant marine bill,
which was the subject OF the recent
White House conference participated
IN by Representative Jetferis Of
Omaha.
Representing the farmers OF the
middle west. Mr.. Howard ,lissipa,ed
the idea that his section is opposed
10 ship subsidy. lie acknowledged
thar the farmers are opposed 10 sub
sides as matter OF principle. but
principle must yield, he said. when
the country is confronted with con-
dition which warrants the abandon
ment.
While no reference was made to
the 81. Lawrence waterway project,
il is we'll understood by the members
OF the committee that the middle west
farmers are interested in this project
as part oi the nations merchant ma
rine program.
Argument Is Comprehensive.
The argument presented by Mr..
Howard Was the most comprehensive
expression yet made OF the relation
ship existing between the agricultural
interests OF the country and ocean
transportation.
In view OF the development of CO.
operative marketing and organization
among farmers, Mr.. Howard sug-
gestcd the time might come when
the farmers themselves might un-
dcrtakc the transportation and SELL
ing OF their products abroad, and ac-
eordingly, might become ship own
crs, thus beneiitting directly by the
subsidy proposed in the merchant
marine bill. which his organization
is supporting.
The representative OF the farm
bureaus said that farmers were wax
ing up to the fact that ocean freight
rates arc just as important to them
ss railroad rates. This is due to
the fact, he explained, that the United
States has become creditor nation
instead of a debtor nation and that
now it must 60 to the markets, in
stead OF waiting for the markets TO
come here. He called attention to
the fact that the plains of Russia
will soon be producing again and
that the time had already come when
the farmer must seek foreign mar
ket for his surplus crops and prod
ucts. The ship, he said, is the ma
tion's wagon, and unless this coun-
try controls its own shipping, the
products from this country will be
subject to the whims OF foreign COM
petitors.
Questions Tax Provision.
Under cross-examination, Mr..
Howard said that his organization
questioned only one provision of the
pending bill. This is the section
which permits income tax exemption
on amounts paid for freights in
American ships.
we are on record against tax
exemption OF every kind" he said;
"eyen tax exemption on farm loan
bonds, To be consistent we must
definitely oppose this section, but J
will say it is the only section which
we do oppose"
