President Harding incorporated" in his
speech almost bodily the recommenda
tions f the United States shipping
board for a direct subsidy amounting to
about $30,000,000 a year and calling for
various indirect aids. All these, ha
asked congress to approve.
SUMMARY OF PLAN
Harding's recommendations, summar
ized, follow:
Creation of a merchant marine fund
by diverting ten per cent of all customs
receipts, netting about $30,000,000 a year.
All tonnage taxes collected on both
foreign and American ships to be added
to the merchant' marine funds.
Doubling tonnage taxes to yield about
$4,000,000 annually.
One half of all profits over 10 per
cent to be added to the merchant ma
rine. Creation of $125,000,000 construc
tion loan fund, to be loaned at 2 per
cent for shipbuilding.
Deductions from income taxes of ship
pers of -an amount equal to 5 per cent
of freight on goods imported in Ameri
can ships to stimulate use of American
bottoms. More liberal depreciation al
lowances in income tax returns on ships.
rKonsiojr-To waive tax
All income taxes to be waived when
the amount of such taxes is applied to
half the cost of new ship construction.

Washington. Feb. 28. (TJ. P.) The
text of President Harding's ship sub
sidy message to congress follows:
"Members of f the Congress:
"When addressing the congress
lascjjecember I reported to you the
failure of the executive to carry out
the intent of certain features of the
merchant marine act of 1920, notably
- the provision for the notice of canA
cellatlon of all commercial treaties
which hindered our grant of discrim
inating duties on imports brought to
our shores in American ships. There
was no doubt about the high pur
pose of congress to apply this proven
practice to the upbuilding of our
merchant marine. It had proven
most effective in the earlier days of
American shipping: it had at vari
ous times demonstrated its effective
ness in the upbuilding of commercial
shipping for other nations.
SUCCESS 07 EABLIEB DAT
"The success of the earlier prac
tice for this republic came at a time
when we had few treaties, when our
commerce was .little developed. Its t
supersedure by reciprocity in ship
ping regulations, and the adoption of
other methods of upon tiding mer
chant marines, through various
forms of government aid and the
century, of negotiation of commer-'
cial treaties, all combined to develop
a situation which should lead to end
less embarrassment if we de
nounced our treaties. We should not
only be quite alone In supporting a
policy long since superceded through
the growing Intimacy of interna
tional relationships, but we should
invite the disturbance of those cor
dial commercial relations which are
requisite to the expansion of our
commerce abroad.
DESIRABLE TO AID
"Contemplating the readiness of
congress to grant a decreased doty
on' imports brought to our shores in
American bottoms and facing the
embarrassments incident to read
justment of all treaty arrangements,
it seemed desirable to find a way of
applying suitable aid to our ship
ping which the congress clearly in
tended, and at the same time avoid
the embarrassment of our trade re
lationships abroad.
