A BUSINESS MESSAGE
pilCTOIlIC and resounding language.
- conventional ingredlctits of many a
presidential pronouncement, are subordi
nated te the detailed exposition of u business
argument In Mr. Harding's explanatory
message en the Shlp-Subldy Hill.
The President culls upon tr Natien te
refinance what has been the liability of a
huge commercial fleet nnd, by expending
much less money than is sunk in the Gov
ernment undertaking today, te convert the
ships into nn asset of material benefit net
merely te private owners but te the entire
country.
It costs the Shipping Heard In net lejses
alone nearly $30,000,000 a ear te retain its
direct interest In American shipping. Under
the iitsistanee system proposed subsidies
totaling $34,000,000 annually would be re
quired te revitallre the. merchant marine.
Under this nrranjremcnt the Government
would retire from the shipping business and
in the end, as the private companies waxed
prosperous, menetuiy sld would be with
draw n and eventually ihip owners would be
required te repay ull th. sums received
for aid.
The logic nnd plain buiiness sense with
which this project is illuminated etand
squarely in the wa of a favorable reception
of the Subsidy Bill In Congre?. Construc
tive policies arc infrequently temptlug te
Senators nnd llepresentutlves with a taste
for striking melodramatic attitudes and for
Indulging In 'tirades et denunciation. Jt is
much mere spectacular te condemn the
subsidy measure us n meminu-'ii of special
privilege thnn te study its details, examine
its principles nnd consider them In the light
of economic sobriety.
Mr. Hntdlng has made a courageous at
tempt te present a pressing problem and te
outline a solution that is the result of serious
censcii ntieiis investigation. 1' is within
til" power of Congress te set n-lde the fruits
of all this earnest inquiry and te Unve the
tnvrcl ant tacrine In a sinte of hopeless
clmes. If is net fu-y te discern any
alternr.t.ve outcome should the measure fail
of pas-nge
If "gen graphical, occupational, profes
sional or partisan objectien'' prove tee
strong, the ceuntrj will net only "ncrilbe n
signal oppertunltj for becoming a llr.-t-rank
maritime Power, but, what Is of trere in
ttant consequence, it will make th" versf
of Its prepent liability e' ship. Iv.llt under
abnormal conditions nnd .ipei'itei'. und'r a
destructive and wasteful sj-uui
With admirable pntieine the President has
rehearsed the main points et the bill und
reiterated sound erguui"Tits tli.it ought te
be perfeitly obvious. Like the Covenant of
the League of Nations, which many a sav
age critic denounced en imperfect, acquaint
ance, tV- subsid: plan !.s mere Important
thnn it is, in the general nsc, interesting
of niet.ur.ftl'- mi. hcnlng. D. eiledlj less
mental strain .- involved in sviidcmniiis it
efihainl than in survevmg its fiatuns v It'i
a view te a sirnere appraisal.
Mr. Harding, whee message j. much
mere in the nature of an objurgatien nnd a
pica than nn ordinary recommendation, has
done his utmost te shed the light of imm.in
sense upon n vital Issue, llespeiulbillty for
confusing nnd becleudlr g it. should the

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
The Inslde Story of Philadelphia !
Yet te Be Written for the World
and His Wife When They
Come a-Vlsltlng
By SAHAII D. L0WKIE
IWA8 looking ercr wine very sensible
read inn pa thnt the Keystone Automobile
Clnb has sent out, icme six or seven np
preuches te Philadelphia by geed highways
from New Yerk, Washington. Scranton,
Atlantic City and I.nncastcr, and I was re
minded of nn answer that n man whom t
knew gave for stepping overnight in Albany
this autumn en a meter trip. He said :
"They have the best and clearest meter
maps at the hotel there thnt can be found.
We can go nnywhere with these mup.l"
A geed thick piece of paper, with wide
colored lines. j,nd only the larger towns
indicated, with the rivers marked nnd the
mountains Indicated, nnd the mileage given,
is what the motorist needs.
I can think of no better addition te the
phene book mid Dibit; in a hotel bedroom
than n map or two of this kind, indicating
the routes in and out nnd round about the
town.
Of course, I think that eemewhere in nny
large hotel there should be a reading room
with at least a reference library of books
about the leralitj. Seme of the vacant
eyed loungers, sitting waiting for their folks
in the corridors, would be thankful for
tich a retreat and for such a "divert."
T CAN think of n score of books, old and
- new, that would be in hourly demand,
i'hey could be chained te the bookcases if
ou like, but with ii long enough tether te
