PRESS, THURSDAY, "MAY

The New York correspondent of the Daily Telegraph wrote on March 18th-

American shipping interests received with astonishment the announcement that the Senate Commerce Commission had voted by sen to four in favour of a plan whereby the United States Shipping Board proposes to ally itself with the German Hamburg Amerika steamship line and to turn over about 180 of its vessels to the German organisation for operation on sixty-three routes formerly used by the already been started several movements by American shipowners, which are expected tests to Congress against the Association of

German company. As a result there have

to culminate shortly in a series of pro-

the United States with Germany in any semi-official undertaking to "restare Ger- many commercially on the seas. Congrong | has yet to decide on the policy of retain ing control of the country's ships or dis this posing of them outright to private in- terests, and, if the former policy is adopt- ed, the Shipping Board oficials believe they must make extraordinarily heroic efforts to put their vereels on a well-or- ganised business basis immediately.

The vessels involved are ships of from 4,000 to 10,000 deadweight tons, including about sixty passenger ships, of which thirty-two, will be ex-German liners. The representatives of the Hamburg-Amerika line have emphasised to the Shipping) Board officials the advantages of securing for the American merchant marine the ex- tensive traffic formerly developed between Germany and other foreign countries, and, if the plan is accepted, many ships, although flying the American flag, would not touch at American ports at all, but would probably be used between Hamburg South America, Africa, Australia, and the Orient The plan would serve the double purpose of employing America's ships- profitably, it is promised and supplying Germany's ship-shortage for the transpor tation of her products broadcast,
