Washington. Dec. s. Storms
awaiting the administration ship
j; ping bill in the senate were fore
ishaoowed during initial consider
alton of the measure today by the
senate commerce. committee.
{ The storm center in the COM
raittee was the Madden amendment
attached by the house making the
shipping aid fund subject to. an
nual appropriations by congress.
/. Advocates of the bill as proposed
! by the administration announced
at the outset they were determine
ea to eliminate the amendment and
J in support of their stand Chair
man Jones presented a letter from
President Harding in which the
/, executive declared he would
rather the measure should fail en-
itire1y than 10. have one enacted
which will bring to US extreme dis
appointment because we have. en-
tered upon program in a half
hearted and rather Indifferent
: way"
i Elimination of the amendment
was Immediately opposed by a
group OF Republican committee
members composed of Senator's
McNary Of Oregon. Lenroot Of Wis
consin and Willis of Ohio, who
ANNOUNCED their intention of fight
ing in the committee and in the SEN
ate for some provision giving con-
l>gress a measure of control over a
fund from which shipping com
panies. may be extended loans
amounting annually to as much
/ as $50, ,000.Goo.
| Discussion ranged about this
question throughout two sessions
held hy the committee and final
,ly the matter was put over until
after tie committee had concluded
its consideration OF other sections
OF the bill. Late in the day the
McNary-Lenroot-Willis group put
forward a compromise under which
the approval of congress would be
REQUIRED. only for any increase over
the amount of government aid fix
ed in the original contract en-
tered into between the shipping
board and the private companies.
This compromise received scant
favor from Chairman Jones, who
announced tonight that he stood
iunoualifiedly with the president
!! Some consideration was given by
the committee today to the section
of the bill esta blishing a construc-
..tion loan fund amounting to not
more. than SIPS, 100000 from
which loans for construction pur-
poses are to be made to shipping
companies with interest at. 1-2
per Cent, but little progress was
|rade. In fact progress upon the
ientire measure was SO slow today
that committee members would not
!; venture a prediction when the bill
would be presented to the waiting
senate. Supporters Of the bill
had expected that only day or
tive. would be. needed for commit
tee consideration but tonight it ap-
lpeared probable the legislation
would not reach the senate. before
nexr week.
The president in his letter de-
IIelared the Madden amendment
would "jeopardize the program by
! the threat of conflict in securing
an appropriation from year to
year" and added. Athe thing is

possible effort for a definite policy
