Washington, Jan. 26-Winding up
the program of formal addresses. at
fhis mornings session, the National
Agricultural conference then was
expected 10 prepare for considera-
ton of committee reports and reso-
lutions. 1t was thought possible
that some Of the committee recon-
mendations might be taken up by
the conference late today.
Recommendation covering an in
Nrmediate credit system to pro-
vide farmers with working capital
already have been drafted by the
committee assigned to this problem.
Little opposition to its report is an
ticipated, since President Harding
and virtually every other speaker
before the conference has suggested
such a program to relieve the pres
ent situation of the producers.
Certain delegations who favor en-
dorsement by the conference of the
activities of the agricultural bloc
in congress, were understood today
still to be undecided whether 10

early today for submission to the

should not carry the whole reduc-
ton, but the railroads should take
their share. saying the railroads
made S600000,000 profit last year
when farmers lost $1,000, 100000.
The committee also recommended

economic news is favorite by
eight to two; finance takes the
short end by a 4 to Is vote; social
news is read by four and scorned
by nine; legal news meets the same
fate on a basis of to Is.
Thirty-six of the students said
they chose what to read by what
the headlines said; 27 judged the
desirability of news by the depart
ment in which it appeared.
Eighteen of the future Journal
lists believed newspapers created
public opinion; 81 that newspapers
followed public opinion; 13 Il at the

Sixty-eight per cent of the class
agreed that newspapers promote

Thirty per cent of the class were

Washington, Jan. 26.-President
Harding will go to congress in a
fortnight and read a special mes
sage advocating government aid to
an American merchant marine.
After several months of study. a
plan has been completed which
takes into account many of the ira
ditional prejudices against ship
subsidies and attempts at the same
time to save the American govern
ment from immense loss in the fu-
ture on the ships involuntarily
placed in its possession during the
war.
Limitation OF the profits that can
be made by private operators is one
of the features, and system of IN
direct as we'll as direct aid is an
other.
Stimulation, Not Bounty.
The president has given his ap-
provaI to the Lasker plan which
contemplates putting the American
merchant marine on a paying basis
in a short time by means of tenn
porary subsidy. 1t means that in
stead of a permanent subsidy the
plan when worked out will within
10 years make it possible for Amer
leans to operate without direct aid,
The plan looks toward the stimu-
Iatfon OF the American merchant
marine rather than to permanent
bounties.
The president has already ap-
proved the deep waterways project
whereby the Great Lakes will be
closer to the ocean going trade and
get the direct benefit of an increas
ed merchant marine. This is expect
ed to insure the support of the agri-
cultural middle west which mas
hitherto been mkewarm to subsidy
programs.
Subject is NOn-Partisan.
/ The subject will be a non-parti-
san one, as leading Democrats like
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana and
other members of congress from
southern states with ocean ports
will be vitality interested in the
success of the program.
Briefly, the system of indirect aid
contemplates an amendment to ex-
isting laws whereby traffic TO and
from the Philippines shall be con-
sidered as "coastwise trade" Only
American ships can ply in coast
wise trade, and the iLclu-
sion of the Philippines in coast
wise trade will materially aelI
American ships plying through the
Panama canal and from Pacific
ports TO the Philippines. Similarly
it is intended to give American
ships the business hitherto done
by the army transport service
Also. it will be provided by law
that at least so per cent of the i'm
migrants coming TO the Uni ed
States shall travel in American
ships.
These three systems OF indirect
aid will in many cases bring il
enough revenue to cradle private
American ship companies to oper-
ate at a profit wi hOut any further
government aid. The hope is tha
eventually all shipping concerns
will be able to get along with in
direct aid.
Lasker Idea Ingenious.
The governments plan contem
plates a system of automatic dimi
