the President Of the Senate. his

However costly the experiment has
been, the President observed, to-day
we are possessed Of a vast tonnage,
and a conviction Of failure" and he
considered the proposal he laid down
as the best way out Of bad bargain
for the government. The cost of
such a program as he suggested he
estimated would be about $15,000,-
600 a year, with $30,000,000 the out
side figure.
In his address, the President did
not go deeply into the details Of the
plan proposed. He merely pointed
out it's main features-10 per cent of
customs duties to go into a revolv-
ing fund, the establishment or con-
version of a $125,000,O00 fund to lend
shipping enterprises, and compen-
sation scheme based on speed and
tonnage.
