Foraker Speaks on Ship Subsidy Measure in Senate
Washington March 14 Senate resumed the ship subsidy debate as Sen Foraker Ohio said he would vote for the bill but preferred discriminating duties for rebuilding the American merchant marine. He noted a majority in Congress was needed and that the 1896 Republican platform shaped his views though he could align with the majority if necessary. Senator McLaurin edged against the bill citing it as a subsidy benefiting private interests more than shipbuilding, while urging protection of the American flag from tainted funds. The discussion closed with executive session and adjournment.
