FRENCH LINE NOT N.
Denied That IL Is Included In the
Combination.


Berlin, Jan 29.-Herr BALM. director
general of the Hamburg American
Line, announces that the agreement
signed at Cologne on Saturday last by
the French transatlantic Company
with the shipping combination did not
provide for the former entering the
combination, thereby confirming pre-
Vious statements on the subject, but
that 1t simply was the general traffic
agreement of the North Atlantic
Steamship Association, which has been
in existence for eleven years. and which
also includes Dutch and Belgian lines.
In view of the situation at present ex-
listing, he added, the French line will
not enter the combination. and the lat
ter does not desire 1t to do so.
In an interview with the editor of
the Tageblatt, published to-day Herr
Ballin said the German companies re-
GREETED the fact that the British gov
eminent had subsidized the Cunard
Line, not because they feared the cons
petition of that line, but because II
was a bad example for other countries,
as, If one country should substitute
lines, others might do likewise, until
finally subsidies would have to be abol-
iShed by an international agreement
similar to the Brussels sugar conven-
ton. He thought the Cunard Lines
new large subsidized steamers were too
expensive to be run at a profit, owing
to their enormous consumption of coal.
Frances experience, he further re-
marked showed the deadening effects
of state subsidies. Herr BALM would
exert influence to prevent the German
government from initiating Great Brit
aims example. Means of transportation
created at the estates expense always
were failures when adequate commerce
did not exist. The German lines were
successful because the German mer-
chants had the courage to export Ger
man products and buy return freight.
