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. ,: . .

.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

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.
