cwperation. His utterance is APP
propriate, coming as It does from a
statesman who occupies the most
prominent and influential position in
the world. Congress can not do bet
ter than TO recognize the force OF
his logic and do its share toward
restoring confidence throughout the
world.
As for the shipping bill, the Pres
ident voices public sentiment when
he asks for a decision from Congress
at this session. The Treasury is los
ing s5O.0O0.O00 a year because of
the merchant marine situation. The
shipping bill proposes to stop that
loss and also to bring about the
conditions so urgently required for
American defense and commerce.
For economic reasons alone the bill
should pass. For reasons of public
welfare it should pass. For the ma
tional security II should pass. As
in the case OF the British debt set
tlement, no substitute for the ship
ping bill is offered or suggested. The
alternative of defeat OF this bill is
a loss TO the Treasury, as is the
case with the British debt proposal.
Mr.. Harding puts his plea very
strongly when he asks Congress for
a decision. He says:
Congress owes to Itself. to the
executive branch OF the govern
ment and TO the American pub
lie some decisive action. Mere
avoidance by prolonged debate
IS a mark OF impotence on vi
