FAVOR U. S. SHIPPING
British Mercantile officials Would
Admit Americans on Equal Terms

London. Sept. 29.-(By A. PD-
Proposals that United States vessels
United Kingdom and the European Con-
tinent were discussed at au important
meeting in this city yesterday, according
to the London Times.
Representatives Of steamship lines
expressed entire approval of United
States ships entering the trade on equal
terms, but some little difficulty is antici-
pated. owing to the fact that all ships
practice what Is known as the rebate,
system, which is illegal in the United
States. The rebate question was left
over for further consideration by Amer
lean shipping authorities,
These proposals, says the Times,
"are especially interesting as indicat-
ing a desire on the part Of shipping
authorities that the American mcrcan {.
tile marine should take part in regular
world wide shipping services, as well as
those to and from United States
pnrts "
