calIy denying intmations that he
had entered into any negotiations for
the purchase Of any merchant vessels
from bolligerent nations for opera
uon under the proposed ship pur
chase bill The letter was in answer
to resolution introduced several
days ago by Senator Burton Mr.
AcAdoo summed up his statement as
follows
In view of false rumor and
statements which nave come to my
ears, permit me 10 say in conclusion
that the secretary of the treasury
nas at no time had a communication
from or discussion with any banking
house banking institution or bankers
in or out of the United States in con
nection with the purchase. sale or
disposition in any manner whatsO-
ever Of the German ships intarned in
ports OF the United States or else
where or i'm connection with any
other ships of belligerent or neutral
nations for any purpose whatever.
The secretary added that since the
disappearance of the emergency at
the wars outbreak wnen 1000o0
Americans in Europe awaited trans
portation home, no agent or employe
of the government so far as he
knew had had communication with
any steamship companies or ship
owners except to ."ettle charges for
Transporting refugees.
Replying to Senator Burtons in
quiry as to whether tender of steam
ers flying belligerent or neutral flags
has been made to the United States
or its officials, Mr. McAdoo referred
to information concerning available
ships contained in a report he made
to the senate on freight rate in.
creases He added that lists Of
steamers under French, British and
German flags had been furnished by
j. v Mccarthy of Boston and B. \.
Baker Of Baltimore and that offers OF
neutral ships were inclosed with the
letter from Mr.. Mccarthy. These Of
fers were submitted to the treasury
department, he said, without solicita-
tion on his part, and probably result
ed from published reports of the pro-
posed ship purchase legislation.
Mr.. McAdoo declared he had no
knowledge of any loans by anybody
in the United States TO owners of
ships tied up in American ports or of
any options held on such ships in
contemplation of their transfer to the
government or any citizen.
