SUBSIDIES FOR 1
MARINE FLARE
Temper* Due to Simmer
Again When Solon*
Convene
WASHINGTON Dec SO— The
question of subsidies for the Amer-
ican merchant marine which in-
flamed tempers at the last session
of eongrees appeared Monday to
be headed for renewed discussion
In the next session.
Postmaster Oeneral Parley put
his influence behind a move to
scrap the present method of help-
ing shipping through mail con-
tracts. and to substitute outright
subsidies.
His advice wa*> contained in his
annual report for the fiscal year
ended last June 30 which claimed
a "net surplus” for the post office
department for the second succes-
sive year and hit bark at critics
who say such surpluses are "mere
bookkeeping. ’
Coincident with Farley's subsidy
stand. Senator Copeland (D-NY~>
said he would introduce legislation
which "provides for the termina-
tion of the present ocean mail con-
tracts abolishes the construction
loan fund and provides for direct
subsidies ”
A move for direct subsidies at
the last session came do naught in
view of divided counsels as to the
details ol the legislation and cries
ol critics that it would open the
treasury to the "shipping trust.”
Farley in his annual report pub-
lished Monday said that last year
the government expended $29536-
733 for ocean-mall carrying which
jon a poundage basis would have
■ cost only *3.266.780. He said a direct
! subsidy covering the difference be-
! tween American and foreign con-
struction and operating cost*
1 “would seem the best solution ”
Parley's report noted the first
Increase in postal revenues since
1930. He said expenses were $006 -
j 003 353 and revenues $630 795 302.
I which was $44062136 more than
I the previous1 year.
Although gross expend were
more than revenues Farley sub-
tracted ‘ship and aviation sub-
sidies free mail and other non-
pceta! and adjusted Hems” whtch
left a net surplus of $4964149. com-
pel ed with $12161000 the previous
year.
