NORRIS PROPOSES
TWO AMENDMENTS
Nebraska Senator Will Vote for the
Shipping- Bill if His Sugges
tions Are Accepted. -
kenyon Offers amendments
" WASHINGTON, . ' Jan. 29. The
government ship purchase bill re
ceived it first support from the re
publican side today. Snnator Norris
of Nebraska declared the plan ap
pealed Ktroiigly to him and that if
two .amendments he proposed were
adopted, he would' vote for it. Ooo
amendment he proposed ' would con
tinue the government in the shipping:
business even after the lines it es
tablished became prof itable.-
"We would let the taxpayer share
the profits as well ag bear the losses
of any of these ventures," he added.
' "The second amendment. Senator Norris
said, would provide that no veasels'be-'
lunging to belligerent nation be pur
chased ' unless a diplomatic - understand-

uuujr of pmernnuonsi complication.

progressive republioan, said he would pre
fer , to , the ' Mipplnlr board vlilch would
be created b .the bill ao organised a fo
lie taken whoIl- out of politics, but that
he wdurd hot ihsist'orf ahy' change In the
present plan.,
Senator Kenyon, another progressive re
runllran offered two amendments, one
to eliminate cabinet officers from the pro
posed' shipping 'board, lie also proposed
an amendment to provide' that "none of
the ships to be purchased or chartered by
the, government should engage In trsns
rortatioa of any munitions of war from
this oounU-y.to. any .belligerent nation or
citlsen thereof."
Differences Amona Demorrats.
Senator Norris urged the bill should be
amended to prohibit the government leas
ing it ships and going out of the busi
ness. HI statement brought to the tir-
fac difference among d em oc ratio sen
ators.
Senator Hoke Smith inquired if Senator
Norrt differed "from those of ua who
vastly prefer the government never to
operate the ships at all," but lease the
ship to the various companies to stimu
late competition.
"The idea of leasing these boats," said
Senator Owen, interrupting, "proceeds
upon the assumption that the line would
compete with each other and thus re
duce the rates. We have tried that idea
to Its ultimate conclusion and found that
the ships of the United State. Oreat
Britain, Germany. Holland and Italy,
Instead of competing freely, are in a
great International trust. All we would
be doing here would be to contribute
H0.O00.000 to the perpetuation of that ys
tent. These government ship would be
come instrument of Uie existing trust."
