to give a guaranty of commercial
Independence in peace.
Personally addressing the joint
session today, President Harding de
clared actual monetary (savings to
the government would result from
tho proponed law. lie challenged
every insinuation of favored inter
ests and of enriching of special few
nt the expense of the public treas
ury. 1
The legislation, be asserted, auto
matically guards against the enrich
ment or perpetual. , bestowal. "If.
success attends as we hope it will,
the government outlay Is returned

remains, and American transporta
tion by seu is maintained
WASHINGTON, i-rov. 21. Declar
ing it would be discouraging if the
measure 'of such transcending na
tional importance should have its
fate depend upon geographical, oc
cupational, professional or partisan
objection, the president said that
America's commercial eminence was
no less important to people of the
middle west, than to seaboard states.
lit- said that if the government
aid is a fair term to apply to au
thorizations aggregating seventy-fife
million for market highways it is
equally fit to be applied o estab
lishment ami maintenance of Amer
ican market hihways on the sea
and that the government is imw los
ing about four million monthly on
govern men t owned ships compared
v. it It sixteen million monthly when
the present administration took
charge.

American shipping carried on-half

not exceed thirty millions annually.
lie called attention to the fart
that the government ships were now
beinjf worrt out without provision
for replacement and that the pro
