Suggest Subsidy for
Merchant Marine Aid
Used in Next War

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. %
Preparations for legislation provid-
ing for permanent policy to build up
the merchant marine are being made
by Senator Wesley l.. Jones, Chair
man of the Commerce Committee.
Directly following his visit to Cool
ldge today, Jones announced that he
would reintroduce the two measures
that were reported to the Senate on
the last day of the last session
Senator Jones stresses the necessity
of establishing a merchant marine
adequate for "the national defense"
Merchant ships are necessary to
national defense" he said "That was
demonstrated during the war. This
government has expended So. 900. OOO.-
900 for the merchant marine. repre-
senting an interest of 1925, 0OO, 900 an
nually, and is not getting any great
benefits from this investment. To
do so we must make the necessary
replacement of obsolete ships"
The first measure provides for
semi-permanent operation by the
government Of ships that cannot be
sold to advantage, and the replacing
and improving Of those on hand in
order to compete with foreign vessels.
The second deals with proposed
subsidy for American ships carrying
on foreign trade, based on speed and
tonnage ranging upward from 81 per
gross ton. Jones AYERS that American
ships cannot compete with foreign
vessels, because the latter are much
more rapid.

Voice in Regulating
R. R. and Utilities
AskCOupOn Clippers

Coupon-clippers are complaining
that Congress and the various COM
missions are not consulting them
about regulating railroad and public
utility management. The National
Association of Owners of Railroad
and Public Utility Securities which
met yesterday at the Bowery Savings
Bank, has extended its activities to
include holders Of gas, light, traction
and power companies as well as those
Of railroads.
According to Milton w. Harrison,
president OF the Association, "Con-
gress and the various commissions
undertake to represent the investors
without the help of the investors
themselves. It therefore becomes an
obligation that investors put them
selves in a position to protect
and stabilize the securities they own.
"Unwise legislation and regulation
can do much damage to the soundness
of security values because the in
dustries behind such securities are
under government control" If the
program which this association plans
to lay before congress goes through,
security owners will arrange IL
dustrial conditions so that they can
get still larger slice Of profits
