Such promises as these have been heard before ;in. Washington, and’ it perhaps is a fairly safe wager that the subsidy measure will not break speed limits-on its attempted. voyage through a legislative ocean"beset ‘with rocks and sand bars. This does not mean that a subsidy will. npt be voted. It seems.to be con- ceded ‘generally by leglslltors of both parties that the Americin merchant marine cannot be made successful un- less’ a government subsidy shall be granted, but the opponents- of the measure say a-weak merchant marine, or no‘merchant marine at all, will be better than- one, supported by public funds. It is true that there is not much puls- ing enthusiasm today among the mem- bers of the majority in house and sen- ate over subsidy legislation, but, never-. theless, the belief seems to be ‘that such a measure will pass some time be- fore the présent congress goeg to its death on March fourth of next year. Widely Varying Opinion. Not'long ago ‘Chairman Lasker of the shipping board made a report to t the subsidy bill was framed and’in- troduced into congress. It has been called variously by its proponents and its opponents a measure. “to rehabili- tate the American marine,” “to make prosperoas the shipping, the agricul- tural and the manufacturing interests of the United States,”“an ocenn-going pork barrel bill” and a legislative at- tempt “to rob ‘the American people.” These characterizations of the meas- ure will give instantly an idea of the conflicting viewpoints, Not long ago some Republican lead- ers in congress. dechu-ed -they-had exis,| dence that the West and Middle West were not only becoming reconciled to the thought of ship subsidy legislation, but were becoming favorable to it. It was 4n the' agricultural:districts that:| . the promoters’of the measure feared they ‘would® meet - opposition- which- ‘would manifest itself in antagonism to the legislation by the- representatives of tliese districts. Later: there seemed to be.a change of mind in.some parts of the Republican majority believes that it can get sufficient support for this measure to secure its enactment. But only the most cheerful members think that ‘the law will be written on the statute books before the summer ‘wanes, An official of an agricultural organi- zation recently has told ‘the joint house and senate commiitte¢ which has been: holding_hearings on-the measure that the farmers ‘of the country are op- posed to it. Some of the friends of the bill say this official does not represent the majority agricultural opinion. Of course this remains. to be proved and, as things are new, there must be a clearing up of theé situation before the majority in congress will attempt to speed the measure on its passage. People Would Pay, of Course. Of . course, if a subsidy bill is voted, the people must pay money to.secure the end sought, that of making not only ‘a self-supporting but a profit- earning American - merchant. marine. Taxation will be increased unquestion- ably, but the argument is that the nml- tiplication -of markets -for American goods and the consequent’ increase’In Amnefican manufacturing ‘and agricul- tural activities will: more:than pay. for the addftional taxes. This cheerful way: of looking- at it is called’ by .the op- ponents of the measure “d smile over a misunderstanding of facts.” The best thing for a man who wants to know today is to read the report submitted to the President by the ship- ing bourd and then to read the re- ports of the hearings which the jpint committee of the two houses of gress has been holding. Bothsides of the controversy then c );finenrned in detail and if a mnWfi% jething of: the judicial in his {1‘ Kel ol can determine whil ) é‘:fli lnfi?}yr right.! balay goofs: which are to be carried umder: the American flag are to be allowed in- comie “tax deductions equal to 5 per cent of the freights on the merchun- dise which is so shipped. The oppo- nents of the measure say that this looks good, but, as one rather bitter antagonist of the legislation has said, is merely getting mohey from Peter to pay a bill to Paul. Fight On for Congress Seats. Progress is being made in the plans of the Democratic and ~Republican campaign committees for vigorous work in the coming fight for seats in congress. s Republicans uy it is certain_ that -|:proposed by the Republicuns as gfisub- B the: nroprleuu ‘of hll posmon wlll glve every assistance that he-ca: in: the, campaign: for. the re-election of a Republican congress, It Isex- pected. that ‘Woodrow Wlilson: will ' do what he, can in.behalf of Pemocracy's cause in the fight, In congress. today : the Democrats are: using ‘every’ piece, of :legislution: Ject for tritigisin aflf’ for Somejvhat tended discussion, especially of the Th ocrats | still Eelieve, apparéntly, * e‘t{).ft théy guve ‘more than“a fair chance next fdil to Treduce ‘materially, tho Republican majority in"the’ sentte' Yand rhnbs to ‘capture’the house.

Now.this rumor is denied and it is said that the President will insist that even.if. men of his own trend of thought had not. been successful in securing nominations, every support must;'be. given the,successful ones in order to maintain a Republican ma- Jority in congress. H Budget -Figures Disputed. ' There is not a Republican cr a Democratic senator or representative in congress who has not been coached directly or indirectly by:-the members of the national committees’ and the congressional campaign committees as to ‘methods and ‘means. for the finding of seemingly.’ weak points in the enemy’s- armor. - Senator Underwood,: the leader of the Democrats-in the senate, has taken it .on himself to attack -the Republican = claims for economic legislation and has en- ‘deavored to show that the opposition party’s tendencies’ are spendthrift rather than saving. The budget has broken into politics. Republican: congressmen claim that the figures which show saving are true to fgct, while the Democrats say:that the figures have been juggled. “Plainly deceptive” were the words that Repre- sentative Byrne, ranking Democrat of the house appropriations commit- tee, .used to present his party’s atti- tude toward President Harding's letter and. Director Dawes' report on the budget. The budget, the bonus, the tariff, and virtually everything else of legis- lative or administrative size which the Republicans depend upon as a‘ bul- wark of defénse ‘and, In a’way, of' offense during the coming campaign, are subjects of attack daily in both Lotises ‘of “congress-by:the’ Democratic foe. The Republicans stand to the de- fense of everything that they have done or are promising to do, and-the "Hourly [derionstration is-:one. of. give and take, and the contmversy is not uninteresting to hear and: to watch. Fess Versus Rouse. “The -chdirman - of “the Demecratlc cougresslonnl cnmpmgn committee is Reépresentative ArthurB.” Rouse of Kentucky.. As a leader in the cam- paign he will be pitted against Simeon D, Fess, the chalyman. of the Republi- can. congreéasional ‘cdmpaign commit- tee. Mr. Rouse hag:issued a public stutement” to the effect that congress ought to quit and go home, - because “the great !flllonalre Republican ways and’ means. committée of the house” has' done’ thoseithings. which' it ought not to have done and has left undone those things whlch It ought to have done. Naturally. thg Republmm “¢ampalgn- |’ committee” thaifnan, Doctor:Fess, is putting forth statements in the re- verse. 'In"1920 the congressional cam- | paign committee was not overworked, for apparently Doctor Fess believed an overwlielming victory was to ‘come:| to his party and; that undue, labor was: ) , unnecessary. * Today, however, the velwpoint séels’ to ‘be: somewhat dif- ferent. The Republicans wjll leaye | nothing undone to hold dongress and ‘| the Democrats will leave mothing un- done to get hold of it. Day by ddyi fhefimpression grows In Washington that the coming campaign will be much=ljvelier than anyone anticipated. - The Democratic commit- tees are working daily_and nightly to. perfect ‘their organization In cvery congressional district where they have the slightest chance of gaining a.seat. It fs the truth that it took the Repub- licans some time to wake up to the dangers which- confront the party. They realize them today-and no poli- tician of the Republican faith except those who have the “claiming-every- thing” habit denies that the party must work to win. Two Leaders Retire Next March.
