ASSOCIATED PRESS

n Dispatches OF ! a I e
,.ws are published in
The Evening Capital.
The National leader., 1922-06-01

naturally wondered where the news
paper got it's information. On read
ing it I found that gentleman by the
name Of Howard, who, I believe, is
president of some sort of an organi-
zation called the American Farm Bu-
reau, or some such name, was the au-
thority for the newspaper statement.
THIS Mr.. Howard, it seems, had
appeared before a committee of
congress and given it as his pro-
found opinion that American farmers
were falling over one another in their
efforts to get up in, the front row and
holler for ship subsidies. Mr.. Howard,
the article said, represented million
and a quarter American farmers, and
when he spoke it was the voice of
American farmers speaking. That's
all there was to it. Simple as pie.
What Howard said went for the
farmers.
On reading down near the end I
found that a congressman had asked
Mr.. Howard whether the Farm Bu-
reau had taken a referendum on the
question. Brother Howard said mo-"
Asked if farmers had made study of
the pending bill, or knew very much
about the issue, Mr.. Howard said he
didn't believe they knew anything
about ships or subsidies. But, he said,
if they did know they would surely be
for the bill, because their surplus crop
was sent to Europe in ships, and they
understood that all right.
The boys used to tell about fellow
who drank little too much once. He
got up on chair in saloon and said
he could lick any one in the place.
Nobody accepted his challenge. A lit
tie later he offered to whip anybody in
the city, but got no response. An offer
to trim anybody in the state also
brought no results. Neither did any,
body come forward when he said he
could thrash anybody in the whole
country. But finally Che had had
few more drinks in the meantime) he
got up on the chair and said he could
whip any one in the world. At this a
little fellow came forward, knocked
him down and beat him up. Our tipsy
friend got up, felt of his bruises and
remarked that he would have been all
right if he hadn't tried to take in too
much territory!
VOW think Brother Howard is
IN in much the same position as
this saloon braggart he has
tried to take in too much territory. If
he had told congress- that he himself
The National leader., 1922-06-01

that, he would have got away with it.
He might even have got by if he had
merely said that he and some of his
corporation friends (for whom he lob
bied for the Cummins- -Esch transpor-
tation act) were for ship subsidies.
But when he came in and said the
farmers were for the bill we'll, it
strikes me he laid himself rather wide
open.
However, Mr.. Howard's testimony
was sufficient for the newspapers to
base their conclusions on. The people
of the nation were informed that the
farmers m were backing ship subsidies.
The farmers had to pay minimum
Of 5 per cent to get what little money
the government offered to loan them
through the war finance corporation.
This ship subsidy bill provides for
loaning vast sums to ship builders and
owners at only 2 per cent interest.
These loans are in addition to outright
bonuses for ship owners running into
hundreds of millions of dollars for the
, lO-year period the bill is to cover.
= The subsidized ships are to be al

the terms of the bill. But there is a
joker that will enable ship owners,
through subsidiary companies, to
cover up profits and increase ex-
penses, so that it will not be difficult
for ship owners to make 20 or 80 per
cent, and still get government aid.
Farmers are fighting desperately to
get bare cost of production, which
they haven't got for two years.
TARM export products are carried
almost entirely across the ocean
- in small tramp ships, which are
allowed only very small subsidy in
comparison to the gigantic grants pos
sible for the palatial ocean grey
hounds" the great liners which carry
our American tourists and leisure
class to Europe on vacations. Thus
ships serving farmers will be least
benefited under the terms of the law.
The owners Of the passenger liners
will be the greatest benefciaries.
1t is frankly admitted that the bill
was drawn by the billion-dollar ship
ping trust. It provides also for the
disposal of government ships built
during the war. They can be sold to
private interests under the bill with
out even the formality of advertising
for bids.
This is the bill that Mr.. Howard
says the American farmers are clam
The National leader., 1922-06-01

v v this headline: Farmers Back
Ship Subsidy Bill" Now
when [ hear anybody say that farm
ers favor this or that or the other
thing, usually ask them how they
know what farmers favor. There are
millions of farmers in this country.
Obviously you can't get them in
room somewhere and ask them. The
best you can do to arrive at conclu-
sion as to what they want is to take a
number of things into consideration
and study a lot Of facts.
Unless the matter has been consid-
cred by farmers all over the country
for a long time and had fair chance
to be thoroughly explained from all
angles, man who declares he knows
what position the farmers are taking
on it assumes a big responsibility.
This is more true when it is subject
not directly related to farming "a
subject like ship subsidies, for in
stance. .
Ship subsidies are government
grants to ship owners to enable them
to compete proftably with foreign
ship owners, according to the official
definition. The government taxes the
people and hands the money over to
private ship builders and owners, at
so much per ship according to size, or
at so much per passenger or ton of
freight carried. The idea is supposed
to be to give your fellow countrymen
who happen to own ships an ~advan-
tage in the worlds trade on the high
seas, over foreigners who own ships.
Ii foreigners cut ocean freight rates,
your countrymen's ships can cut too.
The government pays them enough to
enable them to stay in business and
make good profits.
A SIMILAR thing would happen in
~ the farming business if South
- American wheat growers were
cutting wheat prices, and the Ameri-
can government should say:
'Here, you American farmers go
ahead and raise a lot of wheat and cut
prices to meet this South American
competition. To prevent your losing
any money and to assure you good
profits, we, the government, will give
you a bonus Of 20 cents bushel for
every bushel you raise"
But, while you haven't noticed any
plan for wheat subsidy or corn sub
sidy, or any other kind Of subsidy for
farmers, we are about to grant ship
subsidy. That is the issue.

lot of responsibility on himself at this
