HARDING WILL PUSH MARINE SUBSIDY BILL Wants Equal Basis With British for U. S. Merchantmen. WASHINGTON, Feb. B.—ln the face of growing foreign opposition. President Harding Is going to press Congress for early action on some form of subsidy ■which will guarantee to the American merchant marine a fighting chance with its overseas competitors, who have been bolstered up by government aid for years. Details of the plan which President Harding eventually will propose will be worked out as time goes on, but they will be based on the recommendations of Chairman Lasker of the shipping board, and whose ideas, in turn, are founded on the advice of experts who have studied the question thoroughly. The primary object in view Is to put American shipping on an equal plane with that of Great Britain, our principal maritime competitor. In general, the main features of the subsidy are understood to be: L That the profits of the operator will be limited by law. 2. Government aid will boos an indirect character, except where a reasonable profit is not possible and where it is desirable to maintain the flag regardless of lowered profit. CUSTOMS HELP CONSIDERED. 3. The necessary aid will extend to tha operators and to the personnel on the ships, the first being accomplished by means of allotting a share of the customs levied on the goods brought over and the second by making the crews a part of the naval reserve and thus giving them Increased pay. This latter proposal Is of considerable Importance in the scheme, as American ships’ crews are among the highest paid and best cared for afloat, it Is 6tated. For this reason their maintenance forms a heavy item in the expenses of the chip operator. If part of this burden can be lifted by increased pay from other than the operator himself it will greatly assist the entire program, it is stated. Preceding the formulation of this framework a full report was made by a special committee. In this report the following outstanding recommendations were picked as material on which to drafi future policies. 1. The sale of the remaining fleet as soon as possible, at reasonable figures. 2. Establishment of a loan fund, under administration of the shipping board,

similar to the revolving fund for the railroads and for generally similar purposes. 3. Income and other tax relief. 4. A Government-created non-profit-making lnsuranco corporation providing insurance for vessels at cost. 5. Assurance of at least 50 per cent of Incoming immigration. A number of other detailed recommendations covering technicalities of a vital nature to shipping were made and discussed fully. In addition to this report. Chairman Lasker has informed Congress that without some form of Government support the American Merchant Marine cannot successfully wage a fight for its life against old established foreign competitors. These competitors are “old in the business'* and have ways that can cut up the average American line, handicapped as it is in almost any commercial struggle.
