NO DEAL PENDING WITH GOLD RIVER

Americans have good reasons for building up strong services in the Pacific, first, because of their long western coast line and their exclusive services between that coast and Honolulu: and, second. because a large proportion of the passengers and goods carried in the Pacific Ocean is American. There, if anywhere, United States shipping ought to be in a strong position; and the case for a but sidy is more justifiable than else. where. It is strengthened by the fact that the cost of building is higher in

America than

in Britain, and that unless con struction subsidies were offered, the United States would be handicapped in the initial task of putting modern vessels on the

seas.

The British com- plain that the American con struction subsidies come to mach more than the difference in build ing costs, and that in addition such large operating subsidies are granted that it has now become impossible for British passenger vessels, trading between British Dominions, to stand the strain of competition.

The British Government, strongly pressed in the House of Lords and by the shipping concerns, has referred the matter for prompt inquiry to the Imperial Shipping Commit. tee.

It is important to note, however, that the subsidy bill just signed

by President Roosevelt aims to smooth out those problems per taining to building differentials. The new act sets up a Maritime Authority which is empowered to advance building loans to American shipping interests up to 50 per cent of the value of the ship, inclusive of the difference between foreign and the relatively greater American construction

costs.

Germany Denies Reports In Circulation

FRENCH POLICY SUPPORTED

London, August '10.

The German Charre d'Affaires in London, Dr. Blelfeldt, has informed the British Government that no war materials have. been sent from Germany to the Spanish Insurgents and that mone will be sent. Stories that the German battleship Deutsch- land landed bombs âi Ceuta, that a German Uner now on her way from 'Hamburg'is -carrying bombing aeroplanes to the in- surgents and that Germany intends to land marines at Barce- lona as demonstration are all denied by Dr. Bielfeldt.

The French proposals for general agreement of non-inter-

vention in Spain are still under

consideration in Berlin, Rome and Lisbon. The British Government, through its diplomatic representa- tives in these capitals, have strong- ly supported the French proposals.

Although recognising that the communication made by the Ger- man Charge d'Affaires in London does not in itself constitute an official reply to the French de- marche. newspapers both in Paris and in London express much satis- faction with Germany's under- taking to associate herself with the first aim of French policy which is fully endorsed by the British Government, namely to prevent either the Spanish Gov-
