BRITISH DELAY
MERCANTILE MARINE
interests Hero Declare New
Rumors Are without
Foundation.
"NO ANTAGONIST SHOWN"

The rurnor was spread abroad yester-
day in regard to the International Mer-
camille Marine Company that the pres
ent delay in definite steps toward the
reorganization Of the company could
be laid to the British Government, II
being said that Harold 4. Sanderson,
president OF the company. in the course
Of his recent visit to this country pre-
scented an outline Of the views Of his
Government on the subject which had
held up all progress for the time being.
1t was denied by interests in close
touch with the reorganization negotia-
lions that these assertions were true.
and II was stated that the seriousness
Of the situation had been greatly masni-
He'd. There was certainly. II was said.
no disposition on the part Of any Of
the interests OF the company to proceed
In any way tending to antagonist the
British Government. While II 10 I'M
derstood that President Sanderson made
attitude Of the Government. these sug-
g~estions are asserted to have been such
as would cause 10 difficulties.
In authoritative circles the continued
delay OF a plan was still attributed to
differences between the common and
preferred stockholders' committees. Tn
qualified den!als were made that con-
ferences of prominent bankers at J. p.
Morgan 4 Co.'S Tuesday were In any
way connected with the situation.
The understanding giving rise to the
story on British opposition IL that the
British Government had asked for q
larger English representation on the al
rectorate than American interests be.
lieve Il IL necessarily entitled to under
the contract. There are at present four
English directors on tho board: Mr..
~Sanderson. J. Bruce Ismay. Lord Pirie
and +. C. Grenfell. There are nine
American directors.
1t was stated yesterday on good au-
thority that the original intention Of
the English Government in regard TO
the subsidiary properties Of the COM
pany had been to tax them 100 per
cent. on excess war proits. but that Il
had been prevailed upon TO modify this
to so per cent. TO allow for the restora-
ton Of tonnage lost BY the war.
