Washington, March 7.-Chairman
Hurley of the shipping board said
tonight that the refusal of the Ger
man delegates to agree to the de-
mands of the allies for the uncondi-
tlonal surrender of German mer-
chant ships probably was caused by
fear OF the mutinous sailors at
Bremen and Hamburg.
Mr.. Hurley said the sailors had
objected strenuously TO the proposal
because they would not be allowed
to man the ships under allied con-
troll. Knowing this. the German
delegates, he said. probably refused
to take any definite action and
made the condition that the allies
