WASHINGTON, March Is
Chairman Hurley, Of the shipping
board, cabled the British govern
ment today denying reports reach
Ing London that the shipping board
was prepared to offer equitable
rates of freight 10 German ship
owners for the use OF their vessels.
The message from London said the
reports had ied 10 questions in par
lament and Mr.. Hurley assured the
British government that the ship
ping board would cooperate with
the associated governments. which
propose 10 credit the hire OF the
ships asainst sums Germany owes
the associated powers on account Of
war expenses.
The cablesram from the British
government said:
"rhe question has been asked in
parliament about rumors current in
press and American brokerage cir
cles that the shipping board is pre-
pared &C offer equitable rates of
freight 10 German ship owners for
use Of their vessels. Associ ted
governments in Paris propose to
credit hire of German ships TO Ger
man government"
Mr.. Hurley Immediately sent this
reply:
There is no ground for such a
rumor. The United States shipping
board is working through the allie
maritime transport council and the
respective committees Of the asso-
ciatsd governments at Paris. No
proposal Of any kind has been re-
ceived or forwarded between the
United States shipping board and
the German government as regards
