TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1922. ss MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT ON SHIP SUBSIDY BILL have the aspiration, aye, let me say, the determination, to establish a mer chant marine commensurate with out commercial importance. Our foreign shipping lines, when the con. cord of American activities makes for common American good fortune. Contemplating the competition to be met, there ought to be an amend ment to the interstate comerce act which will permit railways systems to own «nd operate steamship lines engaged in other than coustwise trade. ‘We may furtber extend our long established protection to our crust wise trade, which is qvite in har mony with the policy ot most mari- time powers. Other indirect aids wil! be found in the requirement that immigration shall join ‘wherever it is found to be practical in ajding the merchant ma rine of our flag under which citizerf ship ts te be sought and in the es tablishment of the merchant marine naval reserve. Congress has already provided far 8 loan fund to encourage construc tion. It might well be made ap. plicable to some special requirement In reconditioning. It is also worth our consideration that, in view of suspended naval con struction, the continued building of merchant ships is the one guaranty of a maintained shipbuilding indus try. A very effective indirect aid wil be found. in the proposed deductions incomes, amounting to five per centum of the freight paid on car goes in American bottoms. Our existing ships should be sold at prices. prevailing in the world market. I am not unmindful of the hesitancy to sacrifice the values to current price levels. We constructed ‘at the top cost of war when necessity impelled to meet a great emergency. If there had come no depression a return to approximate normal cost would have been inevitable. But the great slump in shipping has sent tonuage prices to the other extreme If we held our ships to await the recovery we should only make more difficult our response to beckoning opportunity. - If I were not deeply concerned with the upbuilding of our merchint ma. rine, should nevertheless strongly urge congress to facilitate the dis posal of the vast tonnige acquired or constructed in the great war em: ergency. The experiment we have made has been very costly but the outstanding lesson is that the govern ment cannot profitably manage our merchant shipping. Having failed at such erlormous cost, I bring you the proposal which contemplates the return to individual initiative and private enterprise, aid ed by a conservative success, where in we are safeguarded against the promotion of private greed and do not discourage the hope of profitable investment, We have voiced our concern for the good fortunes of agriculture. We have long proclaimed our interest in manufacturing. In the evolution of railway transportation to both agri- culture and commerce. We have eleven expending for many years large sums for deepened channels and better harbors. But we have ignored our merchant marine. It would seem as though passing events were combining to admonish us not to fail now. 4 Up to the world war we were a debtor nation. Our obligations were hold largely by the maritime powers. Apart from the advantages in carry- ing our commerce they sought our shipments for the balance due to them. There is a different condition now. They are concerned with ship- ments to us but not so interested in our shipments to them. It is our purpose to continue our exchanges, but we shall be surer of sélling, not- ably our foodstuffs, !f we maintain facilities, for their transportation. ‘We have recently joined the great naval powers in a program which not only puts an end to costly competi- tion in naval armament and reduces the naval forces of the world, but adds to the confidence in maintained peace. The relativity of strength among tho powers would be wholly one of disappointing the originally in peace will be our guaranty of de- ferse In case that peace is disturbed. were. Nobody pretends any longer that shipping is a matter of concern only to. the ports involved. Com- merce on the seas is quite as vital to the great interior as it ts to our coast territory.

There is far seeing vision in the pro- posal, and this great and commend- able enterprise, deserving your fav- orablo conifderation ts inseparable from a great merchant marine. ‘What, then, is our problem? I bring to you the suggestions which have resulted from a comprehensive study whieh are recommended to mc by every member of the United States Shipping board. It fs a program of direct and fmdirect ald to shipping to be conducted by private enter prise. It is proposed t> apply gen- erally the benefits which it was de- signed to derive from discriminating duties to il ships engaged in foreign commerce, with such limitation on remuneration as will challenge every charge of promoting special interests at public cost.

With larger Treimburse- ment to high speed vessels, and the enlargement of the merchant marine to a capacity comparable with our commerce the total outlay may reach the limits of thirty millions, but it is confidently believed that the scale may in due time thereafter be turned, until the larger reimbursements are restored to the treasury. The proposed plan will supercede all post&l subventions, postal compen- sations, and extra compensations, ex- cepting parcel post freights. It will ultimately take the government out of a business which has been, and is now, «excessively costly and wasteful and involving a loss in excess of the highest subsidy proposed. It will bring to shiypping again that indi- vidual initiative which {s the very soul of successful enterprise. ‘The making of a successful Ameri- can merchant marine, which must face the stiffest possible competition requires something more than the di- rect ‘aid to which I have alluded. The direct aid proposed, even though it ultimately runs to $30,000,000 an- nually, is imsufficient alone to offset the advantages of competing fleets. ‘There are more than wage costs, and working conditions and the higher costs of rationing, which no consid- erable American sentiment will con- sent to fave lowered to competing standards. I think we should discontinue, so far as practical the transport ser- vices in the army and navy 4nd make our merchant marine and passenger passenger ships the agents of service in peace as well as war. We should make insurance available at no great- er cost than as is afforded the ships under competing flags, and we can and will make effective the spirit of yection 28 of the Jones act of 1920, providing for preferential and: steam- ship rates on through shipments on American vessels.
