i WEDNESDAY, JUNE IK'S CM OF WHIP MEANS SIRE TEST StBSafiT WTHODCCED . Washington, Jan 1. (L J. S.) The administration's stdp subsidy bill was formally Introduced In the house today Toy Representative Ed f rounds. Republican of Pennsylvania, a jnembert or tiie iiouse merchant marine committee, and was re ferred to that committee, which Is expected to report the legislation to the ; house .before the end of the week. I . , x - ReputoUqan leaders -were confident today that the bill, pushed along by President Harding's demand lor definite action before the end of the present session, would be passed by the house before July.l. ,: . . , ' By David Lawreaee - (Coparridtt. 1?3, by The Journal) .Wahlngtn June 14. President Harding's threat to call eonrrese Into 'extra session if It adjourns without acting on the js'.iip subsidy bill is the first major. tSt of party leadership ' which the present chief executive baa forced sinde 'be entered - the - White House." j" j -1 - ' ''- '" 1.'. ..Will the Republicans , in congress . ;turn down itheir prty leader? UntQ now they have been lukewarm on' the ,hrp subsidy bill because of a variety jOf reasons, among them a. belief t.tat ithe country 'still retained its pre-war (prejudice airalnst subsidies. ' To thwart the president's wish means, on the -other hand. a number of political coro j plications ojf an entirely different sort. . Mr. Hardinjg Us midway in his admin listration a failure on the part ofa iRepuhlican congress to support him ; would weaken his power during the remainder Df the term. . Some of Mr. Hardjng's friends think he was unwise 'to make a teat on the ship subsidy .bill and that he might have wielded his cib ojf leadership . on something; siMiort likely; of success. ' .OSH WOCID BE COLOSSAL But Mr. Harding feels that the-po- lttical consequences of an abandoned merchant fleet are colossal and that Smbre of a ;poIitical Issue will be made ' against the Republican party If it per .mits the war fleet to disintegrate and 'the expenses of operation - to mount than would be the case if pe old argu ments against a suosiay were revived. For what is the alternative to the ship subsidy plan? Mr. Harding would pass the whole -matter .to the shoulders of congress. An Investment of $3,000, 000.000 in ships to foreign buyers at a tremendous -loss. To operate the ships, on the othier hand, means an expense 'many times greater than the amount of subsidy; asked. In Mri Harding's view there: is no alternative and that's why he is 'forcing action now so as to save further expense of government operation while the ; subject, drags along on the' congressional, calendar from year jto year. , ; ; ... HARD TO-CONVINCE The president has had a hard time convincing; Republican leaders that he is in earnest about the ship subsidy . bill. The letter he wrote ,to Chairman Campbell on May 26, threatening to call an extra session caused a stir. It was not given out at the time because many leaders didn't think the carry ing out off the. threat would be neces sary. Opposition to the ship subsidy - bill has bjeen growing, however, and many members have felt that it would be wiser to letT action be postponed until after the autumn elections. Mr. Harding rfould' have none f ft. Now house leaders , who, rby the way, have improved the original bill a great deal, have decided to report , the measure' within a fortnight or three weeks. BESEJJTS BEIXO LED Many of the leaders in congress. In fact, most of them,' do not like Mr. Harding's assertion of leadership. But as usual congress with its multifari ous interests finds Itself grudgingly in clined to follow the will of the presi dent and : Mr, Harding is being told that success on so difficult a legisla tive proposition as a ship subsidy- will Popularity THe Pure Deliciotxsness of - IX El Nettxirral .

"l 1 : ' f " T', enhance his prestige and make' possible the adoption of othjer. party .measures. Few things have) taken more of Mr. Harding's time since he became presi dent than the shlping muddle. He Is convinced that Chairman A. IX Luker has brought order Out of chaos and has placed Iho shipping board on a syste matic basis. Evidence of this Is the factthat on July jl every' debt of the board will have bjeen liquidated with, the exception of - the suits now in the courts which may take years to adjudi cate. This leaves the problem of the shipping board wholly one Of operation of . ships. Government operation. Mr. Harding is absolutely convinced, is uneconomic and (unprofitable to all concerned. To ru the ships the gov ernment would - have to spend much more annually than is askd for in the subsidy and the public would hardly sanction -the building of ships to re place those which I are wearing out or the construction , bf needed types of vessels which wer not included in the war fleet, but which are essential to a balanced merchant marine. UPKEEP ENORMOUS If nothing" is done the expense of up keep alone, to say nothing of deprecia tion of the ships themselves, will amount to f50.00e.p00 a year with the possible loss. 'too. of an American mer chant marine because of the absence of private Initiative, land - stimulus. The subsidy will cost -much-less than $50, 000,000 and the private concerns which are ready to be formed the moment the bill Is passed would be limited to the profits and be subject to government regulation very much as are American railroads. Profit would not be guar anteed, but their amounts limited. No alternative plan his found favor. It is ship subsidy or chaos and the loss of billions Invested by American taxpay ers unless some action is taken soon and a policy determined.' , That is why the president believes he must force a decision one way Or the other at once. .
