In a personally delivered message to Congress, President Harding placed him- self on record in favour of the Ship
which he haa Subsidy Bill, a measure on more than one occasion expressed his approval. On his appearance at a joint session of both houses of the National legislative, body, be advanced arguments, which friends of the proposed law, con- sider should convince all except hide bound political partisans," of its necessity to and the important effect it would exercise on the nation's foreign com merce. From an oratorical standpoint the address was pronounced, even by those entertaining opinions opposed to those of the speaker, one of the best of Mr. Harding's public utterances.
"I have come to ask you to relieve the responsible administrative branch of the Government from a programme upon which failure and hopelessness and stag- gering losses are written for every page, and let us turn to a programme of assured shipping to serve us in war and to give guaranty to our commercial independence in peace.
