Mr.. Morgan has given the matter
much of his time since his arrival on
the other side. In this country the
more important details have been in
the hands of Clement A. Griscom, of
the American line, while Charles A.
Steele, Mr.. Morgan's partner in this
city. has had charge of the legal pre-
liminaries.
Scope of the Scheme.
It is vet too early to give the exact
scope of the scheme, but as now out
lined there will be an American hold
ing company into which all the steam
ship companies which propose to enter
the combine will put their stock hold
ings-"pool their issues'-in exactly
the same way that the various con-
Germs embraced in the United States
Steel corporation threw in their hold
ings, receiving in return stock of the
main or parent company.
capitalization.
Just what the capitalization of the
company will be is not yet known, but
the amount is likely to be well in ex-
cess of $3.50, 100000. This phase of the
project will depend entirely upon the
number of steamship companies taken
into the combine.
One of the most interesting features
of the plan deals with the subsidy
10 10 n
lines receive liberal subsidies from the
British government. These subsidies
would be withheld or abrogated if the
ships of these lines changed their flag
from British to American. Because of
this the ships of the White Star,
Cunard and the English subsidized
companies will doubtless continue
nominally under British control.
American Interests to Dominate.
George w. Perkins, of j. P. Morgan
& Co., is authority for the statement
that American interests will dominate
the proposed amalgamat ton and de-
clares that the result will prove not
only great triumph for Mr.. Morgan,
but will make the United States the
real ruler of the merchant marine
of the world. Mr.. Perkins also says
that the plan will be of greatest ben
eft to importers and exporters as
well as to the great railroad interests
of this country. It's effect will be felt
by shippers from Maine to California,
Mr.. Perkins says, and will also result
in a better underSta ndino between the
commercial interests of this country
and Germany.
