Administration seeks aid for American merchant marine
President Harding presented to a joint session a plan for government aid to the American merchant marine. The proposal calls for 32 million dollars annually, funded mainly by diverting 10 percent of customs receipts, and limits immigrant transport to foreign ships to half of arrivals.
