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 com
mercial fleets of the world.
The decision of the Administration
made known at the White House yes
terday, was accompanied by the an
nouncement that a definite plan, drawn
by shipping experts and embodying vari
ous 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 Con
gress or the country. However, the
present desperate plight of American
shipping and the probability of the dis
astrous effect on the shipbuilding In
dustry, 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 handi
capped by high operation costs, but will
suggest additional measures to assist the
. erican shipping Industry. Among
those additional measures, it Is under
stood, the following will be recom
mended :
Requirement that one half of the an
nual Immigration to the United States
now limited under the 3 per cent re
striction 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 ship
ments designed for trans-shipment in
American bottoms. The section at pres
ent 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 ship
ping board or private interests.
BOARD STUDIES
OTHER METHODS.
The shipping board for several months
has been collecting and studying infor
mation of foreign subsidies and the
method used by Great Britain, Japan and
other nations for advancing their over
sees business and supporting their fleets.
Mjre recently experts on shipping, ma
rine 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 Steam
ship 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 com
mission Is to determine the details of
the subsidaries and method of applica
tion.
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 Wil
liam Leslie, professor of insurance. Uni
versity of California; S. S. Heubner, Uni
versity of Pennsylvania; W. C. Rader,
head of the Government's War Risk Ma
rine Insurance; B. IC. Ogden, of the In
surance Department of the shiping board
and William J. Love, operating vice pres
ident of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion;
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 pro
posed 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 over
come the natural American repuguance
of the subsidy Idea and vigorous con
gressional opposition, but they are lwink
ing 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 sub
jects.
The American Merchant Marine, ac
cording to A. B. Lasker, chairman of the
shipping board, is faced with a three
point . 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 stand
point is "once the United States estab
lishes financial backing for its ships,
the vhlue of the American fleet will ad
vance 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 in
stitutions.’’—Copyright, 1921, by Public
Ledger.
