Excess earnings Of ships receiving
compensation also would go into the
fund.
Compensation to ships would be
authorized for periods not exceeding
10 years. Even with this aid, Mr..
Greene said, American ship owners
would have to show initiative because
of the compensation would not equal
ize the difference in labor cost between
American and foreign ships.
Cost Is Estimated
1T is precisely estimated lie con
tinued, that on the basis of actual
shipping available the bill will not call
for a greater amount of subsidy or
compensation than $4,000, 900 to $15,-
600, 900 for the first year and that an
eventual expenditure of about $50
OOO, 900 will create and maintain a to-
tai American shipping in foreign trade
of 10000 tons gross register and
capable of carrying from 30 to 80
per cent or the greater portion Of the
import and export trade OF the Unit
ed States
Mr. Greene called attention to the
feature whereby if, i'll any n year,
net profits of any ship exceeded 10
per cent the balance would be repaid
until the full amount of the compen-
sation was returned to the treasury.
This, he said, would prevent profiteer-
