BY COMMITTEE INVESTI-
eating MATTER

Washington d. c., Dec. l--Cotton

and Austria are expected by state and
commerce department officials TO

congress meets to amend and BROADEN
the war risk bill. The purpose is to
provide government insurance on
shipments To the belligerent coun-
tries. even when these shipments in
clude articles such as cotton, which
have been declared non -contraband.
The state and commerce depart
ments Jointly have been working out
the plans for shipping cotton to Ger
many and Austria. Some of 1t is
going direct to the port Of Bremen,
other cargoes to Rotterdam Genoa or
other neutral ports and thence into
Germany and Austria The ships will
come back bearing potash, dyestutls
and other chemicals needed here,
which Germany will allow to be ex-
ported to this country only in Ameri-
can bottoms.
