PLUMS (EDITORIAL) President Harding told congress in his ship subsidy message that it was costing the taxpayers of the United States 50 million dollars to operate its fleet of ships now and that there would not be paid out more than 30 million dollars to private ship operators if this subsidy bill were made a law, The president did not say what else the ship op- erators would get besides the 80 million dollar subsidy running on regular lines would receive subsidy. president did not say that the ships that run on regular lines are those devoted not to commerce but to the hauling of passengers and mail, devoted to the such as the Standaad Oil compan. the United Fruit company’s fruit ships, etc. The president did not tell congress that besides the 30 million dollars going out of the treasury a golden flood would be stopped from flowing into the treasury by reason of the fact that those ship owners S335553333 in the Subsidy what ship owners would The president did not say that a ship would earn just as much subsidy whether it carried a pound of cargo or whether it was loaded full. that only owners of ships The the operators of the ship, tank line steam- no other American ship their income taxes their profits on the operation of the ships and if they were the owners—as in the case of the Standard Oi! company—of the cargoes of the ships, on the per- centage of the estimated freight they paid themselves. The president did not say that Mr. Lasker has ex- pressed the faith that these income and tax exemp- tions to the favored few American ship owners would probably not exceed a mere 10 million dollars a year. The president did not say that if a man bought a ship at junk price from the shipping board and sold it at a profit to be sailed under a foreign flag, he would not have to pay income taxes on that profit if only he would buy or build another ship. not say that the “tramp ship,” which is what Great Britain and every other country means by the “merchant marine,” will not get one penny of subsidy under the proposed bill and their rebates, drawbacks, ex- emptions or other hand-outs from, thru or by the treasury. The president did not say that it was proposed to lend 125 million dollars to the preferred class of American ship owners at 2 per cent a year while business men, farmers, manufacturers and ordi- nary folk in general pay from 6 to 10 per cent. If the president had told congress all these things, he would have told them of a part but not all of the plums that are tucked away in the pi giving pudding—if the subsidy bill is passed on Thanks- IS MENACED!
