quiry did develop evidence Of a
closely interviewer relation of ship
ping interests with the international
Mercantile Marine as the nucleus.
II found that the International
Mercantile Marine controls the
American line, the international
Navigation Co. OF England. the
Oceanic Steam Navigation Co, the
White star line. the Atlantic Trans
port lire, the Leyland line. the Do
miniOn line and the Red Star line,
representing a total ownership o.
80 steamers and an aggregate ton
mage Of 100000. 1t has issued

This company has a membership
in an association known as the
transatlantic Steamship confer
ence. embracing nearly all regulari-
ties both freight and passengers, en-
gagged in traffic across the Atlantic
ocean. 1t maintains an office in New
York city, where representatives Of
the various lines meet periodically
to consider matters Of common con-
Germ" said the committee
No Concerted Action.
The committee discovered no evil
dence that the shipping interests
had taken any concerted action to
fight the ship bill. IF they were
not without influence on the result
or in connection with any congress
sionaI action in relation to the meas
ure, it was too subtle for discovery
by such means as the committee had
at its command" said the report.
The committee finds that the
charges which gave rise TO it's crea-
ton were altogether baseless. having
their origin in that ungenerous trait
of the human mind which makes it
prone to attribute unworthy motives
TO Tedoubtable rivals. and particu-
larly TO political antagonists" the
committee concluded.
Sen. Walsh of Montana. chairman
of the committee, submitted the re-
port. Other members of the COM
mittee were Sens. Simmons of North
Carolina, Reed Of Missouri. Suther-
land of Utah, and Penrose Of Penn
sylvania.

Germany to Allow
 Dutch Ships to Go
 To English Ports

London, Aug. 2-The German gov- ernment has given pledge to Hol- land not to destroy or molest Dutch ships carrying foodstuffs to England, according to a Copenhagen despatch to the Express. This decision is the result of a visit to Berlin of Cornelius c. K van Aalst, president of the Over seas Trust and another Dutch com missioner.
 The Express says van Aalst pre- sented an ultimatum to the German authorities to the following effect: Unless Germany agrees not to inter- fere with Dutch ships bound for Eng land with food cargoes, Holland will close her eastern frontier. Other wise the entente may stop Dutch i'm ports from America and the Dutch colonies.
 The trip of the Dutch commission was the result of presentations by the entente that Holland was selling large quantities of foodstuffs in Germany while her food trade with England had almost ceased.
 Holland replied that trade with England was made dangerous by Ger man submarines. Van Aalst fearing .reprisals by the entente then under took the trip to Ber!'1 and then after a series of conferences obtained Ger many's acceptance of his demands.
