Washington, Nov. 23. Repre

chairman of the house merchant
marine committee, told the house
today that the administration
shipping bill would create an
adequate merchant marine, in
crease America's foreign trade
retain In the country 1300,000
000 annually in freight money
give work to thousands of men
and guarantee the nation against
the necessity for again being
faced with the task of building a
war time merchant fleet.
"It is because American ship
ping in the foreign trade, alone
of all our industries, has not been
aided ln the past that it has gone
down," Mr. Greene asserted. "In
this bill we are seeking to remedy
long years of discrimination and
injustice."
Says "Subsidy" Misleading
The word "subsidy," Mr.
Greene said, has become a "bug-
aboo" to some, and he asked the
house to disassociate it from their
minds in considering the measure
"What are the irrigation dams
and watersheds set up by the
federal government in cooperation
with certain states if not a form
of subsidy to land owners, stock
raisers, and agriculturalists?"
he asked.
"What are the land agents and
franchises given to railroads?
Subsidy, What are the advances
made for highways? Subsidy.
What are the farm mortgage
banks for, if not to provide those
concerned at least an indirect
subsidy? These are beneficint ap
plications of a principle with
which the 'public is thoroughly
familiar. Why den its potential
beneficience In another quarter
because it happens to come for
ward under a different designa
Mr. Greene said the bill pro
vided a merchant marine fund of
$4,000,000 annually, to which
would be added ten per cent of
the annual customs duties,
amounting to about $30,000,000.
Excess earnings of ships receiv
ing compensation also would go
into the fund.

'We need a strong and prosper

Mr. McBean indicated a belief

Your idea is that the only al

The market today for turkeys

On this basis, the Thankogiving
turkey will .coat from 40 to 45
cents, a pound, Just a few cents
higher than one year ago. But if
geeue or ducks are preferred to
turkey, then the figure is not quite

Dressed duck is 5 cents lower than
