Shipping P o ia S h
from Alsace to u. S

Washington, Jan. 2-War trade
board officials said today that Chair
man Vance Mccormick, now on his
way to Europe, would investigate
the announcement Of Chairman
Hurley, of the shipping board, in
Paris. of a plan to ship between
100000 aid 100000 tons of potash
from Alsace to America. Senator
Hitchcock had submitted protests
from Nebraska potash producers,
who claim that the proposed plan
conflicts with the war trade boards
order prohibiting the importation of
potash from Germany until peace
has been formally declared.
Senator Hitchcock later read the
protest in the senate. 1t said the
proposed shipments from Alsace
would paralyze the Nebraska potash
industry and urged that importations
be shut off until some policy rela-
tive to potash production could be
worked out.
The Nebraska senator charged
that there seemed TO be a combina-
tion of fertilizer companies whereby
they are refusing to buy potash
produced under the stimulation Of
government propaganda
