Declares Such a Fleet l.
Necessary as a Second
Line of Defense
COMMENTS FAVORABLY
ON WATERWAY PROJECT
President Has Included in His
Speech Recommendations
of Shipping Board
(By United Press)

Washington, Feb. 2S.--A great
American merchant marine is neces-
sary as the second line of the nation
naval defense, President Harding
told congress today.
Such a merchant marine is also, he
added, the highest agency of peace
and it bears no threat and incites no
superstition. President Harding in
corporated in his speech almost bodi-
ly the recommendations of the Unit
ed States Shipping Board for direct
subsidy amounting to about $780,
900. a year, which called for various
indirect additions. All these he ask
ed congress to approve.
Recognizing widespread opposition
by agricultural interests to a ship
subsidy, which has been a political
"bug bear" for many years, Presi-
dent Harding emphasized that ship
ping is no more a sectional interest
than agriculture and manufacturing,
and that all sections of the country
stood to gain by a thriving ocean
commerce under the American flag.
He commented on the Great Lakes
St. Lawrence waterway project as an
enterprise. Harding's recommends
tions are summarized as follows:
Creation of merchant marine
funds by modifying 10 per cent of
all customs receipts, net about $780,
100000 a year.
All tonnage taxes collected on all
foreign and American ships to be
added to the merchant marine fund.
Depreciating tonnage taxes to
yield $4,000,000 annually.
One-half of all profits over ten per
cent to be added : to the merchant
marine fund. Creation of Sf25,OOO,
900 construction loan, funds to be
loaned at 2 per cent for ship build
ing.
Deductions from income tax of
shippers, an amount equal to per
cent on the freight on goods import
ed on American ships to come out of
American bottoms.
More liberal depreciation allow
ances on income tax on ships. Fifty
per cent of all immigrants must be
carried in American ships.

CREB-CIBBON FIGHT TO
CLEAR RING MIXUP
By Henry l.. Farrell.


New York. Feb. 2S.-Much more
than an individual victory or decision
hinges on the light heavyweight con-
test between Tommy Gibbons and
Harry Greb, scheduled for March lS
in Madison Square Garden.
That bout win put in motion a pro-
cess which most probably will turn
out the next opponent for worlds
heavyweight battle with Jack Demp-
sey.
The winner of the bout will be
matched with Gene Tunncy for the
American light heavyweight champ
ionship. Carpenter comes next for
worlds "battle cruiser" title and
then Dempsey.
Proof that the proposed Dempsey
Wills match for the worlds heavy
crown did not meet with universal
favor he's been brought out by the
avidity with which the Gibbons-Greb
bout jumped into public talk. Fol-
lowers of the game believe it to be
the best match that has been made
in years. a
Aside from the big things it should
lead up to, the meeting Of the two
best 175-pounders in America should
lbe a thriller. Having met twice
before and having INDUCED in spirit
ed contests in print, the decisive
meeting with so much at stake should
bring out the best boxing that has
been seen in years.
For Tommy Gibbons, victory will
mean vindication, probably worlds
championship and surely large finan-
cial returns.

London, Feb. 2S.-With imposing
state. military and religious pagean-
try, Princess Mary, only daughter of
King George and Queen Mary, was
married today at Westminster Abbey
to Viscount Lascelles, eldest son and
heir of the Earl and Countess of
Hardwood, and one Of England's
wealthiest noblemen.
King George gave his daughter
away, and the historic Abbey, which
last saw the wedding of an English
sovereign's child GAO years ago, was
packed by a distinguished asscmblage.
The enthusiasm of the crowds lin
ing the professional route from Buck
ingham Palace to the Abbey testified
to the popular qualification at the
Princess having stepped outside the
ranks of royalty to choose husband,
an act, the rarity Of which is shown
by the fact that she is only the third
daughter of a reigning British sover-
eign to marry non-princely rank. Her
predecessors were Princess Louise,
daughter If Queen Victoria, who mar
RED the Marquis of Lorne in 1871,
and Mary Tudor, daughter Of King
Henry VII, who married the Duke Of
Brandon in 1915. Princess Mary's
aunt, Princess Louise, married
"commoner," the late Duke of Fife,
but her father, the late King Edward,
was not on the throne at the time.

New York q. C. B.)-Prohibition
Director Ralph A. Day was much per-
turbed over the report that he had
arbitrarily forbidden the use of fer
mented wines in connection with re-
ligious ceremonies in this city.
''I have no Intention" he said, "of
depriving any religious body or creed
of their sacramento wines. What we
are going to do is this-put an end to
the manipulations of fake priests and
rabbis, who on the pretext of serving
the religious needs of their congre--
cations have obtained the release of
thousands of gallons of wine and dis
posed of it in bootleg channels"
The four orthodox rabbis appoint
ed by Director Day to pass upon ap-
plications for sacramento liquors
would be quick to detect fraudulent
applications, he believed, and assist
materially in discouraging liquor
traffic under the guise of religion.
They are Rabbis Samuel H. Joffe,
