Archange1, Oct. 11.-If the loss

in the report from Archangel today
it makes a new record in the loss of

The Virginian interests are repre-
sented in that proceeding but have
not appeared in this. 1t would be
improper to defer all relief to the
North Carolina shippers pending the
determination of the questions in
volved in that preceding and of 9th
ers here raised by the defendants.
.NThe record indicates that a sub
stantial measure of relief can be
given promptly by establishing a
distance scale of class rates from
North Carolina to South Carolina, OBJ
serving the present rates to Atlanta
and Southern Georgia as maxims
and grading back in substantial con-
formity with the progressions of the
central freight association and
western scales, as indicated by the
exhibition which compares the
present rates from Richmond with
present and prposed rates from Raj
eigh to points on the Seaboard Air
Line.
stTo Catawba, S. c., for example,
the proposed scale would produce a
first-class rate from Raleigh of
eighty cents; to Greenwood, S. c.,
95 cents, and to Athens, Ca, $1.16.
This will sufficiently indicate the de-
tail of the scale, which would apply
in either direction, and between
points in North Carolina as well as
interstate points.
Transportation conditions con-
sidered alone would juhtify a less
rapid rate increase nj North Caro-
lima than farther south, rather than
the reverse The facts indicate that
the carriers, although warranted in
recognizing the difference in COM
petitive and transportation condi-
tions south of the Virginia cities, do
not, under present conditions, give
sufficient recognition to the rights
of the territory most unfavroably af-
fected by the discrimination.

MERCHANT. MARINE
SHOWS MARVELLOUS
WARTIME GROWTH

In connection with the bill recently
introduced in the senate by Senator
Jones. of Washington, chairman of
the committee on commerce, provid-
ing for the sale of government owned
merchant vessels to private operators,
1T is interesting to consider the growth
OF American shipping enterprise since
the outbreak of the war. There are
seventy one firms now owning or
operating American tonnage, who be-
fore 1914 operated no vessels, or who
have added steamships where for
merly only sailers were used and vice
versa. These new shipping firms now
own 35S ships of 1.729,0 S1 lightweight
tonnage, forming fully one -quarter OF
the total American steel tonnage suit
able for purposes of foreign trade
Senator Jones has given great study
to the question of the development of
the American merchant marine, and
from his position as chairman of the
committee which will handle all meas
ures on this subject, his views nat
urally will be effective in shaping
whatever legislation is finally enacted.
His bill seems likely to be the basis
of congressional action. No doubt it
viii be amended in certain respects
by the committee before it is reported
to the senate In declaring for the
policy of private ownership and oper-
alton, the. Jones bill follows the re-
peated Recommendation of the ma
tional foreign trade council and the
strong declaration on the subject of
the merchant marine adopted by the
sixth national foreign trade conven-
ton held in Chicago.
The fact that there has been SO
large development in shipping inter-
prise in recent years, and that SC
many new concerns are engaging in
the business as owenrs or operators.
is of peculiar interest just now as in
dicative that the fears expressed in
certain quarters that private owner
ship would tend inevitably to mo-
nopoly are not well founded

FORD PICTURED
AS LOVER BIRDS
TREES AND FIELD

Mount Clemens, Mich, Aug. "a
strong disclaimer that there was any
thing anarchistic in the utterances of
Henry Ford. who is suing the Chicago
Tribune for $1,000, 5000 damages on
a charge of libel. was made today by
Attorney Dell f. Reid. of counsel for
Mr.. Ford.
Attorney Reid pictured Mr.. Ford as
a kindly man with love of birds and
trees and his fellowmen. 1t was alb
surd. he said. to try to outweigh Mr..
Ford's established character by dis
torting the rhetorical flourishes of his
published sentiments in the culmina-
tions of an anarchist.
IF Henry Ford had remained in the
field where he made SO conspicuous
success there would have been no
law suit said Mr.. Mosner. But along
in 1916 he made a terrible mistake
when he concluded to leave the field
which he ornamented for an arena
where he did not belong. to pose as
an educator
The lawyer asserted that If Mr..
Ford attended his own school where
American principles are taught to for
eigners in his employ. he never would
have permitted the propaganda which
went broadcast in his name nor would
the Tribune ever have characterized
him as an anarchist

Lowering of the county tax assess
ment of the Pensacola Shipbuilding
company from a proposed 100000 to
$4,000 was made yesterday after j.
S. Reese and John A. Merritt. Of the
citizens committee, which gave the
site for the plant. had predicted the
possibility of closing of the big yards
If this was not done
Tax Assessor McDavid and Captain
Sweeney, of the company, had pre-
viously agreed upon 100000. follow
ing the first figures of half a million
computed. as a basis for taxation. This
was later protested by officers OF the
plant as a result of a visit here OF
officials Of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration and the developments which
followed. The board of county COM
missioners voted unanimously at their
meeting yesterday morning to cut the
assessment in the light of facts which
were presented.
Stating that the government might
come in at any time and close down
the plant, Mr.. Reese asked that every
thing possible be done to avoid con-
flict and that the board follow the
policy Of watchful waiting until the
political muddle" is settled. The
plant is and it isn't a government
proposition" he said, land we can
well afford to wait one. two. three or
even four years until it passes into
private control. We must not kill
the goose while she is still laying the
golden eggs
Things are in a precarious condi-
tion," Mr.. Merritt told the board.
They are wrangling among them
selves and with the government and
no one knows what the future may
bring. / wish / could tell you the
things 1 know, of conditions as they
actually exist.
I'VE can no longer look to our bay
or to the navy yard for the big things
of prosperity. The yard is being cut
down to peace time basis and with
rates so high and space so limited, the
bay can not give US the commercial
profits which we desire.
I'VE all know well the conditions
which obtained prior to the location
of the shipbuilding plant here. If we
had not been enabled. through the
many promises made, to bring this
industry to the city, merchants would
not have been able to pay their own
taxes
The amount of $4,000 raised by the
"a citizens who composed the COM
mittee is the only capital which we
have invested. The remainder is gov
ernmental expense incurred when the
property was decided to the United
States. Even if it were not for the
moral obligation by which we bound
ourselves, the proposed rate of taxa
ton is excessive

URGES TREATY AMNESTY

.RERIzN, March I Correspondence
OF the Associated Pressl--Demand
that the peace treaty contain a clause
granting amnesty to German SUBJ
marine commanders for the outrages
they committed in the ruthless sub
marine warfare is voiced by the
AHEemeine Zeitung. The Berlin news
paper evidently expects that the
allies will demand the surrender of
an German submarine commanders
and to present an argument to show
why these men should not be pun
ished for the crimes they committed
on or under the seas. The paper also
gives warning that any attempt to
hold them responsible for their mur-
derS of innocent persons might fan
the flames of international hatred.
These captains" asserts the news
paper, were not responsible for the
conduct OF submarine warfare, or for
carrying on the unrestricted UNDER
seas campaign. They were acting
within the scope of their orders, and
the entente could not possibly hope
TO defend the position that these men
were responsible when they simply
carried out in a professional way the
Instructions they had received
