OPPOSITION TO SUBSIDY
BROKEN CONSIDERABLY
Opponents Say Government

Washington, March delay for
two years in The cash payments of the
soldier bonus was today virtually de-
cided on by the republican members
of the house ways and means COM
naittee.
Washington, March 1.-"No bonus
for the shipping interests until after
the soldiers get, their bonus"
This was being seized on as slo-
gan today by opponents in congress
of PRECEDENT Harding's plan for d.
rect aid of $3O,OOO,O0O a year to
American ship operators. However
both houses show that the president
by his address to congress yesterday
when he submitted a definite anu
comprehensive subsidy program, had
broken down to an unexpected degree
the long-standing opposition to such
a measure. Harding has thrown down
the gauntlet to congress by virtually
declaring the subsidy program is the
last and only chance to save the Am
erican merchant marine.
Leaders of both parties insist that
it would be unwise to continue the
present plar Of having a deficit OF
hundreds of millions piled up through
continuing shipping board operations
of the marine. What to do with ;
large number of the government
; ships unless the bill is passed is (
most difficult problem.
! Opponents of. the subidy bill will
attack it on the ground that the fed
eral government should not give
money to private interests. They
will also attack an apparent plan 0!

the final score is, one thing is Ger
tain and that is that the game will

showing was made possible in part
by the use Of federal highway aid and
reimbursement bond funds which to-
tailed more than double the amount
of the 1921 motor vehicle taxes.
John H. Mullen, deputy commits
sioner and chief highway engineer,
added that the largest outlays, es-
pecially those for new construction,
were in counties which voted REIN
bursement bonds and others where
the truck routes when taken over by
the state were not up to the average.
The highway executives made this
statement ~.-. -->...-
Department policies are designed
to distributed new construction so
that the lagerst number of localities
may share in early, permanent bene-
fits, and also to build up. weak street
ches in long rnileages Of otherwise
good roads Their continuance will
tend to bring up Individual county
totals to a fair average, traffic, mil
cages and other conditions consider
ed. Those with small totals last year
will be most likely to lead this year

effort has been and is being made to
give every section fair and impartial
consideration" -

\Unlteu freSS Stan COfreSpondent)
Washington, March 1.-(United
Press.)-Agricultural, banking and
commercial interests of the east and
west clashed here today in bitter
fight on the proposed Great Lakes
to-the-sea waterway at the 18th an
nual convention of the National Riv-
ers and Harbors congress.
Eastern interests oppose the pro-
ject for fear it will mean the loss of
n huge slice of their ocean business.
Western interests frankly admit that
deepening of the St. Lawrence river
will benefit the farmers and business
men Of the middle west and west to
the extent of hundreds Of millions Of
dollars annually, by giving them di-
rect outlet to the ocean.
Friends Of the project believe they
have the preponderance of strength
at the convention and expect to not
only keep the organization from
going on record against the proposal
but to adopt y resolution endorsing
it. Opponents of the project fought
| it in the resolutions committee and
then planned a direct and flank
movement on the floor in the hope Of
succeeding in one maneuver. One
adopt a resolution! against the project
move calls for the convention to
and the other is designed to put it on
record against the expenditure o.,
money by the United States govern
ment on waterway development out
side the country.
Proponents of the St. Lawrence
project will fight both with the utmost
vigor. John Barrett, former director
of the Pan-American Union, and now
working in the interest of American
foreign trade expansion has issued a
warning against business war be-
tween the east and west.
- "The arraying Of the eat against
lie west" he said, "in a bitter con-
flict will effect unfavorably all phases
of legislation and financial and COM
mercial relations essential to national
prosperity"
Speakers at the convention include
Secretary of Commerce Hoover, Sec
rotary Of the Navy DENLY, Ambassa
dor Jusserand of France, General
Lansing H. Beach, chief of army en-
gineers, DR.. Stepanek. minister Of
Czccho-Slovakia, Senator Ransdell,
Theodore Brent and A. B. Shepherd,
Pittsburg. Vice President Coolidge
is expected to preside at the banquet
tomorrow. President Harding has
been invited tot the banquet.
