WOLF PACKS ON
 MANY REINDEER DEAD
Nome Reports Extermina- ton of Animals Ur-
 gently Needed

News of vast increases in the num- Der of wolves in the Nome section and northern Alaska was received today by the Governors office, in a request from Paul Stafford, Acting Reindeer Supervisor at Nome, that measures be taken to exterminate the predatory animals.
 The wolves are running in largo packs, according to Stafford, and have killed as many as 60 reindeer in one night recently. Native hunt CTS are said to be having little success in reducing the number of the beasts, and extermination before the reindeer fawning season is said to be vitally necessary.
 Governor Troy conferred with Hugh w Terhune, Executive Officer | of the Alaska Game Commission, concerning measures that may be ta- ken. It is said that poisoning the animals is prohibited under Alaska law, and that trapping apparently is the best solution.
 United Manager Briggs of the Reindeer Service has returned to Nome after a field trip made to gauge the wolf population, according to Stafford's message, and Reindeer Supervisor Lyman Brewster has been informed of the situation.
 Reports from Noorvik, Kiana, Sela- wik and Noatak coincide with Briggs report that wolf depredations are increasing, with the short days giv- ing hunters little chance to cope with the ravages. Point Barrow and Shak- toolik also reported large packs in those areas.

DOLLAR LIMIT SET ON SALES
 BY MERCHANTS
No Votes Given on Sales Under $l Except by The
 atres and Cabs, Ruling

Minimum sales was the chief point at the Better Times Drive Merchants Committee luncheon at the Terminal today. All members agreed upon S1 to govern all sales, with the ex- ception of theatres and cab compan- ies. In making the two exceptions the committee announced that out of fairness to the two lines of busi- ness whose individual sales seldom total $1, the change was made.
 The problems Of wholesale and dis count business were settled by the committee. Teeth were put in Rule 4, which states that votes will be given only on strictly retail busi- ness The purpose of the drive is to stimulate retail business, and after today, January 24, no votes will be issued on the payment of wholesale bills or accounts over shelf prices, the committee ruled This elimin- ates the questions arising from wholesale purchases by merchants, boarding houses, cafes, hotels, and similar businesses.
 EligibInty question
 The following rule was pointed out in deciding the eligibility of candi . dates: Girls IT years and six months old are considered as IS, at the start of the contest. Girls less than 30 years and six months old at the end of the contest are permitted to com pete, the committee said. Final de- cision as to the eligibility of candi- dates will be made by the committee at the close of nominations.
 Rules Now in Effect
 The rules passed by the committee today, will be placed in effect Sat- urday, January 25. All tickets issued will be stamped by the firm issuing them, and are void unless so marked This measure was decided on by the committee out of fairness to all con- cerned. Votes already cast in ballot boxes will be considered legal, how ever, the committee said.
 A special bulletin will be issued to merchants covering these regula. tions

Subsidies Not New.
Subsidies are not new to the Ameri-
can Government. They have been
granted shipping in one form or an
other ever since the early days of the
Republic The first act helping Ameri-
can shipping was passed in 1889. 1t
had for its purpose nothing more than
was practiced by the rest Of the mari
time nations of the world.
These early subsidies took the form
Of discriminating duties and lower
tonnage taxes for American bottoms.
American ship tariffs were 10 per cent
less than those charged other countries
on coming into American ports. The
lower tonnage taxes consisted of lower
charges to American ships at the port,
of lighthouse fees and other incidentals.
These indirect subsidies or favors
to American bottoms continued on
up through our history from the
founding days until about 1880. Then
treaties were substituted for them.
This country and other maritime ma
tions agreed to dispense with them
and signed pacts to that effect. Many
of these treaties are still in effect
and stand, therefore, as bar to
favors shown domestic shipping in
terests by the Government, after the
old manner.
Sidestepping, therefore, is the
order of the day, and this has re-
suited in the subsidy idea. These
subsidies are, therefore, worldwide.
Every nation that goes to sea, that
maintains a carrying trade across
the water helps its nationals with
subsidy. Great Britain, France and
Germany are notable examples.
In this country we have always
sidestepped the word subsidy"
when talking of help to our merchant
marine. But, bluntly, American
ships cannot stay on the high seas
as carriers of foreign commerce with
out financial assistance from the
Government. And those who have
opposed the use Of the word get no
where with their opposition.
Because of this understanding Of
the atuation President Roosevelt, Ia
Evening star., 1936-07-05

asking marine legislation Of Congress,
said:
In many instances in our history
the Congress has provided for vari-
Gus kinds of disguised aid to Ameri-
can shipping. In recent years the
Congress has provided this aid in the
form of lending money at low rates
Of interest to American shipping
companies for the purpose of build
ing new ships for the foreign trade.
1t has, in addition, appropriated large
sums under the guise of payments
for ocean mail contracts. : = Given
under this disguised form it is an
unsatisfactory and not an honest
way of providing the aid that Govern
ment ought to give to shipping.
Il propose that We end this subter-
fuge. If the Congress decides that
it will maintain reasonable, ade-
quate merchant marine. believe that
it can well afford honestly to call a
subsidy by its right name"
For those who like figures and facts
to bolster arguments, as fine an ar
gument as ever could be devised bol-
sters up this latest subsidy step by
the Government.
Present U. S. Status.
Today our foreign-borne commerce
is second only to that of Great Brit
ain. Over two-thirds of it is carried
in foreign bottoms.
For more than three years not a
single merchant ship for our foreign
commerce has been started in Amer
lea.
At the beginning Of the World War
over $1,000, 100000 was lost by rot
ting on American shores of American
goods for want of bottoms to carry
it overseas.
During the World War over s3,000,-
000. 900 excess in tariffs were paid
by American businesses to get goods
overseas.
And over 100000 900 we're paid to
foreign governments for transport
service to get American troops to the
battlefields Of France.
These losses would have subsidized
an American merchant marine for
three centuries. Why, even back in the
Boer war we paid out enough In in
creased freight rates to cover its cost.
From these facts and figures it may
easily be seen that it is distinctly cost
lier for us not to have a merchant
marine than to have one.
1908 Naval Splurge.
AS for the Navy. Back in 1908 we
made a great splurge in the naval
waters of the world. Teddy Roosevelt
was then President and he thought
it wonderful thing to show the globe
how wonderfully powerful and mighty
We we're on the seas. The Great White
Fleet steamed out of American har-
bors to impress all mankind dutifully.
And it did. But every time the fleet
left a foreign harbor for another "kill-
ing" destination the high government
of the departed country got behind
doors and had good laugh. For all
the way round we were coaled and fed
by feet auxiliaries Of the nations Wis
tied. We had a wonderful naval ar
mada, but we had no supporting ships.
Today, with the world jittery, we
need q vast array Of merchant ships
to support our Navy as auxiliaries.
With 500 to 900 million dollars pledged
for a larger Navy, we need, in the
opinion of naval experts, not less than
400 merchant men auxiliaries Where
are they coming from? Out of the ribs
If the merchant marine act of 1936-if
the new plans of Congress do not mis-
carry.
For immediate modernization of our
commercial shipping we need not less
than 200 vessels.

naval auxiliary craft in time of need.
This done. everything else is smooth
sailing The Government will build
the vessel and it will cost the shipping
firm just what 1t would built overseas.
The company has to put up one
quarter Of this cost The balance the
Government finances for a period of
ments on contract to be made yearly.
The program works out as follows:
A vessel desired and approved costs.
let us say, 81 100000 to build in Amer
lea. Foreign built it cost S6000OO-
both costs exclusive of the defense fea-
lures required by the Navy. Six hun
dred thousand dollars, therefore. is the
price Of the ship to the operating COM
pany. One-quarter of this amount is
S150,000. This is all the actual cash
the company has to put up. AS for the
100000 differential-that is the sub
sidy. That is the price the Government
pays to have the ship built in this
country and ready for its service in
time of war.
Also Operating Subsidies.
The subsidy, however, does not end
here. There are other subsidies
operating subsidies. Uncle Sam wants
this ship manned by American seamen
All officers and all crews of these YES.
sells must be American citizens, save
only a small percentage of stewards on
passenger vessels. And he wants them
to have American wages. Now Amer
lean wages are higher than foreign
wages, so Uncle Sam has to nav the
differential. This he agrees to do. re-
curing all companies buying vessels
under his subsidy plan to keep a con-
tinuous discharge book or service
record OF seamen employed upon the
vessels.
The shipowner does not receive the
construction differential subsidy. This
is paid to the American shipbuilder a;
a part OF the privilege of having the
ship built in America. This is essential
because of the difference in the stand
ard of wages paid here and abroad
and the cost of materials.
American labor is the chief benef1-
ciary of this differential cost. Virtu-
ally IS per cent of the cost of con-,
structing ship is labor. And the
profits of the shipbuilder in the trans
actions are adequately restricted by
recapture.
The operating differential goes to
the shipowner. 1t covers the excess
cost OF materials and labor over the
foreign cost of the same items, an
amount he would be exempt from
paying were he operating a foreign-
flag ship. It covers repayment of
sums OF money already disbursed In
payment for American labor EMPLOYED
upon his American ship and for ma
terials required in its maintenance and
operation. In strict language this
payment Of operating differential is
not q subsidy. It merely represents
an equalization of American costs as
against costs of foreign operation. No
profits accrue to the shipowner as a
result Of this payment. He is out of
pocket so much and he is reimbursed
so much.
In return for moneys put out by
the Government over and above those
that would be put out by the ship
owners were they to build their ships
abroad the Government receives:
