A furious critique of the Harding Lasker ship subsidy bill passed by the House. The speaker condemns the bill and its passage as undemocratic, citing benefits to Standard Oil and tax rebates, with vivid charges of favoritism and reckless government financing.
The article analyzes the ship subsidy bill tied to wartime profits of a Shipping Trust and Standard Oil. It cites presidential claims of up to 30 million in subsidies annually, notes the broader tax costs and exemptions, and quotes Louisville Courier-Journal and Rep Frear criticizing the bill as favoring monopolies. It highlights party votes and predicts political consequences in 1924.
The President warned Congress that ship subsidies would cost U.S. taxpayers up to 8500,000,000 to operate the fleet and that private operators might receive 30,000,000 if a subsidy bill becomes law. He did not detail who would benefit beyond the broad figures or the tax implications for subsidy cases.
The Louisville Courier Journal quotes Andrew Mellon as arguing full enforcement is unlikely while bootlegging profits persist. He notes murder and crime outpace law, warns that prohibition enforcement will progress only with majority will, and highlights the impracticality of eradicating contraband and related illegal profit.
President Harding supports the measure as the Ship Subsidy Act passes the House by a wide margin. Senators prepare for continued debate as a special session progresses toward a Senate vote and potential future action.
A clipped Louisville Courier-Journal editorial reprints remarks by Republican Congressman Mondell and others on the Ship Subsidy bill, accusing Harding's administration of aiding Standard Oil and the Steel Trust while farmers suffer. It urges voters to study the bill and listen to radio debates, noting local store Miles Vareepy as the message outlet.
