"PRICED FIVE " CENTS HARDING Administration Debates Plan of Aiding Ships by SUBSIDY By David Jkawreaee"-"" (Copyright, 1931. by fbe Journal) - Washington, Oct. 8. President Hard ing and his cabinet have Just tackled the lggest n(1 most far reaching prob lem of the administration something that relatea to unemployment, more markets for . agricultural '. - products, limitation of armament and interna tional relations. It Is the question of a merchant marine. ' ''. - Two hours of discussion In the cabinet led to no conclusion except a determina , tion to thresh the whole thine put fur ther at next Tuesday's meeting.' The big question being considered is, whether the Hardlpg adrrfinlstration shall take a step, feared by preceding administrations, but nevertheless pointed out as the only solution, namely, a di rect subsidy of American ships. ' LA8KER MAKES KEtOBT ' Chairman Albeit Lacker has gone at the whole problem with characteristic Vigor and has made a report to Presi dent Harding outlining the alternatives before the American government. 'He has shown how this Is the critical mo ment and how America --stands at the parting of the ways either she will lose j her chance to build a merchant marine or she will avail herself of a golden op--portunlty to gather In trade round . the world for the benefit of the American farmer and manufacturer. , Mr. Lasker has the confidence sot only of the presi dent,: but, his associates. He foresaw the . failure of the United States Mail com pany and seised the .ships they had been operating for the shipping board, lat being vindicated absolutely In the Ion . of Mr. Harding by the collppse of the company. That haa only-Served to accentuate the necessity y5f making it possible for Americao-concerna to- com pete on the seas with ships flying a for eign flag. "... . .SEAMEN'S ACT BLAMED Briefly, It has been contended that the La Follette seamen's act, -with its high scale of wages, made it impossible for American firms to sail ships as eco nomically as those of other countries. Deficlts5have arisen from other sources. The question is not the same, however as It was in peace .time days before 1914, when it amounted merely to a subsidy to American enterprises. "Now the government "here owns a vast num , er of ships.? f . ;' What shall ."it do with them? Shall they be sold at ridiculously low prices at time when the price of 'tonnage is at lt lowest ' point- and. even -then 'let American shipping concerns ' flounder for themselves; In; the face of conditions Df competition .that are ruinous, or-shall the- government enter. Into .a, sort of partnership ' with '.-privata .' enterprises. paying a subsidy, for mall delivery and ather items in order to develop. routes (Concluded on Pase KourtMa, ColSmn Threat Lad Misses Footing and Falls, to Death in Willamette River; ' Search for Body.

Washington, Oct i. (WASHINGTON BUREAU OJ THE JOURNAL) Se crecy still wrap the delay In reporting the nominations of George U. Piper as collector of customs and Edward N. Wheeler as appraiser. Unofficially It is known that protest against Piper has been received by the senate committee on commerce and that a hearing will be granted to those opposed, if they desire. Wheeler's nomination is believed un objectionable, but is held up temporarily with Pipers until the return of Chair man Wesley L. Jones, when It la ex pected a showdown will, be demanded. Presumably another reason fo the delay In the absence of Stanfield, who has not appeared during the present session of congress. He will naturally be con sulted, particularly as Piper is consid ered his special protege. Stanfield will, la such circumstances be the member called on to justify Piper's -nomination. Whether the charges will -be. . ventilated probably depends on the seriousness with which they are viewed after they have been regularly formulated and evidence offered. It is understood they have been offered only in an Informal way so far. -- - Return of both Jones and Stanf.eld will be awaited by the committee unless the case takes some unusual turn, and no one here in to know , when Stan field can be expected. , GOVERHOR OLCDTT President Harding Touches ey That Opens -Draw Bridge . . .at Young's Bay. .5- -, Seaside, Oct f, Halted by: 8peed Cop Abbott of Columbia oounjtyt Qovernor Okott., Cbau-man R.

Plans to push the tracks of the United Railway line through to Tillamook' have been revived by officials pf the North ern Pacific and Great Northern railroad companies, according to well authenti cated reports of , recent conferences of chief executives . of a the two northern lines. . . . This report is strengthened by the fact that Charles Donnelly) president, and J. G., Wood worth, vice president In charge of traffic of the Northern Pacific, together with W. F. Turner, president, and W. D. Skinner, traffic manager of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle, rail road, are making a tour of the proposed route today and Monday. , ;They are covering the same route, taken by the chief executives - of the Great Northern during the first week In September. .

S2 miles remain to be built to link Port land and Tillamook with a standard gauge rail system.

At present the United Railways runs as far as "Wlikesboro, where it connects with the heavily constructed Gates Creek road, which, in turn, runs to Aagaard. From Aagaard the proposed route which waS considered several years ao by the northern lines follows -the Washburn survey down Wilson river. The Washburn survey follows arD easy route to the coast with the-exception of one point where the construction of a tunnel 2200 feet long would be neceasary. The rfght-of-way has been secured for this route by the Gates Creek, & Wilson River Railroad company: 1 a OFFICIAL DROPS HI5T ' ' The " executives of the northern llnea have reported that their interest in this section waa in the logging road into the Eccles timber tract but one of the of ficial before leaving for the trip Sat urday said: s ' "Don't you suppose that if the chief executives of the Northern, Pacific &ad Great Northers take such a keen Interest in the Northwestern corner of Oregon that they, have mere to mind than the mere construction of a logging road 20 miles Bi lengthr ' ' Both Donnelly and Budd are keenly In terested lit the possibilities ot a major lumber traffic out of the Northwest for their lines.
