EARLY ACTION ON MARINE IS HARDING WISH President to Ask Congress for Immediate Relief of U. S. Shipping. WILL DEMAND SUBSIDY Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By SAMUEL W. BELL. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. President Harding, within six weeks, will lay the case of the American Merchant Marine squarely before Congress. He will urge a downright ship subsidy as the only means of keeping American craft on the high seas in competition with the commercial fleets of the world. The decision of the Administration made known at the White House yesterday, was accompanied by the announcement that a definite plan, drawn by shipping experts and embodying various methods of applying bounties and subventions will be submitted as the basis for legislation. Estimates on the amount of annual subsidy necessary to put the American fleet on an equal footing wit! other maritime “ations range from $60,000..000 to $100,000,000. The President's views on the question of ship subsidy have been well known, but he has found no occasion, since his inauguration, to impress them upon Congress or the country. However, the present desperate plight of American shipping and the probability of the disastrous effect on the shipbuilding Industry, wrought by the proposed navai holiday, has made action Imperative. WOULD PROTECT U. S. SHIPPING. In his message, the President not only will urge the importance of direct subsidy on trade routes where keen competition exists and .the Unitetr States is handicapped by high operation costs, but will suggest additional measures to assist the . erican shipping Industry. Among those additional measures, it Is understood, the following will be recommended : Requirement that one half of the annual Immigration to the United States now limited under the 3 per cent restriction law, be forced to travel In American vessels. Application of section 2S of the present Merchant Marine law which' provides preferential rail rates for through shipments designed for trans-shipment in American bottoms. The section at present at present is under suspension by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Extension of the coastwise law3 to the Plffiippinae Feb. 1, 1021. Discontinuance of the operation of the Army and Navy transport service and operation of the transports by the shipping board or private interests. BOARD STUDIES OTHER METHODS.

The shipping board for several months has been collecting and studying information of foreign subsidies and the method used by Great Britain, Japan and other nations for advancing their oversees business and supporting their fleets. Mjre recently experts on shipping, marine insurance and kindred subjects have been called into consultation and the plan which the I’resident will present to Congress is being developed rapidly. It was acknowledged at the shipping board that a commission headed by Prof. Emery Johnson, dead of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, has been working on the program for the past ten days. Other tpembers of the commission arc: Winthrop L. Marvin, vice president of the American Steamship Owners’-Association; Rear Admiral H. H. Rosseau and Clarence S. Williams, Daniel H. Cox, secretary of the Society of Naval Architects; Grosvenro M. Jones, formerly of the Department of Comerce; and Beecher, admiralty counsel of the shipping board. The problem of the commission Is to determine the details of the subsidaries and method of application. MARINE INSURANCE. TO BE STUDIED. Another committee has been formed to study the features of marine Insurance with the view cf submitting a plan for the development of an American marine Insurance policy to free the United States from foreign insurance domination. The insurance committee is composed of William Leslie, professor of insurance. University of California; S. S. Heubner, University of Pennsylvania; W. C. Rader, head of the Government's War Risk Marine Insurance; B. IC. Ogden, of the Insurance Department of the shiping board and William J. Love, operating vice president of the Emergency Fleet Corporation; The idea of a ship subsidy has been broached in Congress several times since the civil war and invariably the subsidy has 'met with defeat, the last one being the so-colled Galllnger bill which proposed a flat annual subsidy of $3 a gross ton on American shipping. OPPOSITION MUST BE OVERCOME. The President ar.fl members of the shipping board realize they most overcome the natural American repuguance of the subsidy Idea and vigorous congressional opposition, but they are lwinking on ine change of sentiment toward a merchant marine which has taken place as the result of the war. No attempt will be made to urge a flat subsidy, except Where the trade permits of nothing else. The move is for a flexible scheme whiefr may be adjusted annunll.v to meet the needs of the trade, a plan which will take in f o consideration routes, types of ships, wage differentials aad various other subjects. The American Merchant Marine, according to A. B. Lasker, chairman of the shipping board, is faced with a threepoint . handicap. The American 1 ship operator has a heavier capital cost higher wages and the problem of establishing new routes going out and getting Lie business away from the other fellow. “Make the shipping business profitable," Mr. Lasker says, “and this country will have solved the problem of Its Merchant Marine.” His strongest argument in favor of a subsidy, from the Government's standpoint is "once the United States establishes financial backing for its ships, the vhlue of the American fleet will advance more than a half billion dollars and the shipping board will be able to carry out the mandate of Congress and sell the Government fleet to privnte institutions.’’—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger.
