A MISNOMER.
U.S. MAIL CONTRACTS. Roosevelt Favours Outright Subsidy. KEEP AMERICA ON THE SEAS. (United r.A.-Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 12.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, February 14. The Associated Press at Washington telegraphs that President Roosevelt, in the course of a Press interview to-day, declared that he wants complete reorganisation of the ocean mail contract system. He favours an outright subsidy in place of the present form of Government aid to shipping, which aid ho emphatically believes should be called bv its light name of "subsidy" instead of using the subterfuge, "mail contracts." The President advocates a subsidy to keep America on the seas. He is convinced that wages of American sailors are higher than those of other countries.
