LONDON, Jan. Is (by Associated
ress).-There will be no shortage of
cargo tonnage for supplying world
needs during the first half of 1919 in
the opinion of Edward n. Hurley,
chairman of the United States Ship
ping Board. 1t is passenger space for
transporting troops home that is oc-
cupying attention of the allied ship
ping controllers. No nation can have
az much of that as it wants now.
After comforting with industrial and
shipping heads in England and France
and viewing large part of the battle
areas of France and Belgium, Mr.
Hurley stated that it would take at
least six months, possibly more, for
France and England to rehabilitate
their industries to the point where
large amounts OF raw material will
be needed
1t is pointed out that it would be

destroyed factory buildings are made

it is transformed to its pre-war state

less than two years of war, Is in o bet

dustral conditions have been more
than disrupted.
With the rapid increase in Ameri-
can tonnage. it is expected that more
than 40 per cent of the American
forces will go home in American
ships. 1t is the desire of American

The new company will have good start in possessing
the boats buildings and equipment of the old company
but money will be needed to buy additional machinery
and equipment.
The usual plan in such enterprises is to seek outside
capitalize go to the States and place the proposition
among men who always the lookout for such be-
glnnings of successful industries
But in this case the men interested have decided
that instead of going Outside for capital and eventually
turning the largest part of the profits to people not of
the community they will first offer people of Cordova
an opportunity to become interested
The people here know something of canneries. They
know of the past of this industry in this mme
date vicinity They know that despite cries from the
cannerymen every year that their plants the verge
of ruin yet every plant in the district is being enlarged
and improved and employs more every season.
Fish packing is not gamble, as is gold mining or
oil mining. The fish are in Prince William sound and
when they are taken out they have ready SALE The
industry yet is in its infancy

The Hinchnbrook Packing Company has been or
gained at Cordova for the purpose of operating
line cannery on the site occupied by the Ohm Fish
and Packing Company
The new company has taken the Ohm Fish and
Packing Company and will use the boats gear buildings
and other equipment of the latter company.
Gus Ohm, v. J. Swanberg and William H. King are
the organizers of the company
Everyone in Cordova knows of Gus Ohm He started
at Cordova with dory and shed for the local market
BY using sound business methods he propered and
had number of other fishermen working for him. Bust
ness men of the city became interested and was given
capital to operate on large SCALE and finally the Ohm
Fish and Packing Company was formed with him at
its head.
Now Mr. Ohm is convinced that although he has
made success of the company there is money to
be made in salmon cannery than in fish packing and
with the two men who have been closely identified with
him in the Ohm Fish and Packing Company he has de-
cded to take over the latter plant and turn it into
salmon cannery.
But to do this will require large sum of money

Recent Events In France Have Had No Influence On Negotiations For
 New Loan
sx A,,oeiated Prs.s

Washington, April 3O--Italy was giv- en a new loan of 50.0OO.0OO today by the treasury to cover a number of ob- legations incurred by the Italian gov ernment on contracts for war mate rials and foodstuffs from American producers. The credit extension brought Italy's total borrowing from the United States to $1 ,57I ,,5OO,OOO.
 The loan has been under negotiations fo1 several weeks and recent develop ments at Paris resulting from the Fiume situation, it was stated offlcial- ly, have not entered into the financial negotiations of the representatives of the treasuries of the United States and Italy.
 Total loans to all allies now are s9,- 23S,S29,000. Congress has authorized total loans of $10,000,000,00 and indi- cations at this time are that the pal ance of this authorization will be suf- ficient to care for allied needs between now and the declaration of peace. Aft CT that date no further loans to allied governments may be made, but the war finance corporation has authority to finance exports by American firms. This may take the place to some extent of government loans in providing credit by which foreign interests may pur- chase in the United States.

WANT TOLERABLE PEACE


 Berlin, Monday, April 2S.-Strong currents of opinion inside the cabinet permit of the assertion that the m1n- istry of Chancellor Scheidemann IS fervently hoping to obtain peace set tlement at Versailles suff iciently tol- erable to win the national assemb bly, S ratification and thus obviate the dan- ger of further internal ruptures, which it is believed would be bound to re- suit from plebescite.
 The governments pronounciament2s 2s in the past months have persistent;y underscored the nations need for food and peace. The food situation is slowly being ameliorated, and the gov ernment's chief remaining sorrow is it's preliminary settlement with fo-- mer foes.
 Scheidemann's party colleagues and the democratic elements in the present administration seem quite conscious that the peace to be offered them will hardly be tempered with mercy, they are pinning their faith on President Wilson's influence with the entente leaders to the extent of hoping for terms which will not compel the Ger man delegates to head their train for Berlin immediately after the delivery of the peace treaty.
 There are no illusions obtaining In any quarters-political, financial or in dustrial-but that it will be a long and heavy one. Speculation in Berlin

Fortunately, however. rome of the intended victims has been in-
