: The ship subsidy plan which Pres


ident Harding was expected to recon-
mend to congress in message today
will provide for raising a revolving
fund Of, about $3O,OO0,000 a year
through diversion of a percentage of
the customs receipts, it was under
stood from callers at the White House.
President Harding was said yester-
day to have completed the main out
lines of his message. Bills carrying
out the ship subsidy plan it was said,
would be introduced simultaneously
in the senate and house by Senator
jones and Representative Green of
Massachusetts, chairman, respective
ly of the Merchant Marine Committee
of the house and senate. Advocates
of the plan hold that the fact that it
will not require direct appropriation
will probably cause it to meet with
more favor than former ship subsidy
schemes. Senator Cappcr chairman
of the unofficial agricultural senate
bloc who had Il conference with the
president yesterday, said the president
believed he had II plan which would be
supported by the farmers and the
country. THE exact percentage Of. the
custolns receipts to be diverted under
the Presidents plan is not shown, but
the shipping board recommended ten
per cent.

The governor of North. Carolina Is
very Indignant at the Canadian gov
ernment for its refusal to extradite the
negro, Matthew Bullock, wanted at
Norlina for melting to riot, on the
ground that Bullock would be lynched
if returned to North Carolina. The
governor of North Carolina is not to
be blamed for his indignation. People
who know the facts feel that there is
as little danger of the lynching Bull

be in Canada,
