SUBSIDY APPROVAL
DOUBTED BY EDGE
Senator Thinks Measure Will
LoSe-FaVorS Pri-
Vate Operation.

Belief that there is little POSSIBLE
lty of putting a ship subsidy through
Congress was expressed today by
Senator Edge of New Jersey, Repub-
liCan, member of the Senate COM
merCe committee after "A talk with
President Coolidge. The Senator said
he favored a subsidy, but was con-
WINGED the only thing that could be
done now was to provide Shipping
Board tonnage that would attract and
hold patronage.
Senator Edge also issued n state
ment discussing Vice President
Dawes campaign to revise Senate
rules, and said it was absurd
that a majority of Senators could be
denied the privilege of curtailing de-
bate.
Sees Transfer Best Plan.
'T believe it would pay us in the
end in ultimately transferring the
feet to private control" said Senator
Edge. LAS to a subsidy we are pay
ing very large one now in the shape
of a deficit-Some SS5,000,00O to
$50, 000.0 600 annually. If we must pay
this sum TO maintain a merchant
marine, why not do it scientifically
and thus encourage constructive de-
Veiopment. AS it is we are simply
paying it to meet a deficit and in the
meantime the merchant marine is
rapidly deteriorating."
During his talk with the President
Senator Edge discussed the vacancy
on the Federal bench in New Jersey
reiterating that any of five names he
had submitted TO the President for the
post would be acceptable to him. The
Senator plans to discuss the vacancy
also with Attorney General Sargent.
Those recommended by Senator Edge
TO fill the vacancy caused by the res
ignation of Judge Charles F. Lynch
are: Richard F. Plumer and John F..
Emery of Newark, Fred w. Van War
con of Paterson, A. Dayton Oliphant
of Trenton and Walter H. Bacon of
