HARDING SAYS
SHIP SUBSIDY
IS FARM NEED
Points Out Producer
Dependent on Other
Lands Besides Home.
Holds Nation at Stage
WhereWhat | Helps One
Is Aid to Everyone.

Washington. June 29.-Presiden
| Harding at a dinner at the White House
Thursday night presented to agricul
| tural leaders of the country his reasons
+! for seeking their support for the mer-
p! chant marine legislation now IN con
gress and discussed with them severa
phases of the agricultural credit stua-
ton.
According to Chairman Lasker of
the shipping board. who also attended
the dinner and at its conclusion told
newspapermen that he spoke for the
president, Mr.. Harding informed his
guests that the proposed ship subsidy
to national problem and not to meet
class requirement The president
was said to have declared that this
country had reached a stage in its ma
tional life where anything that was
overwhelmingly of interest to one
group could not help being beneficial
to all.
Says Farmers Dependent
Chairman Lasker quoted the chi f
executive as saying that it was no
longer possible for the agricultural in
terests to be independent of overseas
trade. That phase of the national life,
Mr. Harding was reported to have
declared. was as closely linked TO world
trade as the manufacturing industry.
Mr.. Harding it was said. asserted
that the farmers could be assured of a
continued and consistant carriage of
their surplus only through an Amer
lean merchant marine. If there were
no markets opened to the American
manufacturer. he argued, that manu-
facturer could not take care of the
product of the farms. adding that un
less the manufacturing industry could
be employed to the maximum, the agri
cultural industry would suffer.
The president was said to have EN-
phasized that the United States ex
perienced an immense industrial de-
velopment in the period between the
Civil and the World wars because of
its prosperous home markets. but now
must consider world conditions and
would need world markets to occupy
its expanded plant capacity.
Need in Time of War
Recent experiences. he was declared
to have added. had also demonstrated
the need of merchant ships in time of
war.
The farm credit matter was said to
have been raised by the guests, who
told the president they favored con-
solidation of the various bills before
into one measure, the general
purpose of which should be to give
longer time to farmer borrowers than
present commercial facilities afforded. |
The president was said to have ex-
pressed interest and a desire TO be
helpful in this object. The discussion
indicated, it was said after
the dinner. that the guests intended
to obtain more information on the ship I
issue and were of the belief
that the public in general likewise |
needed education along that line.
