LONDON, Jan. 2.-The British gov

trade offensive. declared Sir Hamar
Greenwood, head of the Department Of
Overseas Trade, in the course of an
interview to-day in which he outlined
the scheme. 1t includes sending Of
touring trade. exhibitions to South
Africa, Australia, New Zealand and
Canada.
Sanction for the plan already has
been received from the Treasury De-
partment, Sir Hamar said, and it was
proposed also to send similar exhibi-
.tions to South America and the United
States.
He considered that 1920 promised to
be the greatest year in the history of
British trade, barring strikes. He
added: eve desire to strike a blow at
the fetish of German cheapness, fos-
tered by the Leipzig fair"
Regarding America, Sir Hamar de-
clared: "I am for friendly commercial
invasion of the great American Re-
public. Some of our products now are
in gfeater demand by the United States
than they ever have been, and the
limitations of our productive capacity
form the only limit of our export

Thirty-four Vessels, Includ-

Be Sold on January 20
Only Americans May Buy
Cost of Refitting the Craft
for Passenger Service Es-
timated at $4,000, 900

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Thirty for
mer German passenger ships seized
when the United States entered the
war. including the Leviathan, the
largest vessel afoat; the George Wash
ington, which carried President Will
son back and forth from Europe; the
Agamemnon and others which were the
pride of the German merchant marine,
were offered for sale to-day by the
Shipping Board.
Proposals for the purchase of the
vessels, which may be filed up to
January 20. will be received only from
American buyers and must include a
pledge to use the ships Oh lines desig-
mated by the Shipping Board.
Decision Of the board to offer the
former German liners for sale was de-
termined principally by the cost Of
reconditioning them for passenger
service, Chairman Payne said in an
nouncing that the vessels were for
sale. Many of the vessels were used
by the War Department as transports,
UOCu Uc1OIc dHU d1CcT CHe aTmlSClCe,
and the cost of reftting them for pas
senger service has been estimated By
Shipping Board officials at approx
mately $5o,ooo,oo0.
BY restricting the sale of the ships
to American interests and to perma-
nent service on designated lines the
board expects to accomplish the estab-
lishment of it's proposed passenger
service program to all parts of the
world along the same lines that would
have been followed had the board it,
self put the liners into service.
The vessels of the first class type
offered for sale are: Leviathan, Ag-
amemnon, Mt. Vernon, Won Steuper,
George Washington, Martha Washing
ton (Austrian), America, De Kalb,
Aeolus, Huron, Princess Matoika, Po-
cahontas, Callao, Mocccasin, Black Ar
row and Otsego. Fourteen others of
the intermediate type adapted for
steerage and cargo, including the
President Grant, Antigone, Mercury
and Amphion, are also offered to buy
ers.
The ships are to be turned over to
the successful bidders upon payment
of 25 per cent of the purchase price
and satisfactory fulfillment of other
terms of sale. Such of the vessels as
are not sold at this time will be used
by the board in passenger service un-
til the whole Of the government fleet
has passed into private hands.

Grand Jury Action
Against ''Ice Trust
All Facts in Legislative
Inquiry Will Be Given
to the District Attorney;
Expects an Indictment

Senator Charles c. Lockwood, chair
man of the Joint Legislative Commit
tee investigating ice and housing con-
ditions, said after session of his
committee yesterday that he would
place evidence obtained in the inquiry
before the District Attorney. He said
he was convinced that the ice business
Of this city was controlled by single
group of men in violation of the law.
II will hand over the minutes of our
sessions to the District Attorney" Mr..
Lockwood said, s"for him to bring the
matter before the grand jury. think
we have brought out enough to warrant
action by the grand jury"
Brewer Testifles
Norman S. Goldberg, president of the
Fidelio Brewing Company, Of First Ave-
nue. and Twenty-ninth Street, told the
committee that his plant, which had an
ice manufacturing capacity of sixty
seven tons day, wouldn't do much
manufacturing until 1921. He said he
was tied up by contract to sell all the
ice he could manufacture to the
Kuickerbocker Ice Company at So a
ton. He was prevented by contracts
from selling his ice to any other firm.
Goldberg also testified that he didn't
make ice from January 1, 1917, to May
l, 1918, but was paid $500 month by
the Knickerbocker Ice Company during
that time. Goldberg said he wasn't
paid for part of April. The Knicker-
booker people told him. he said, that
the Ice Controller had closed many
plants then and he wouldn't have been
able to do business if he had been
operating Independently.
The witness said that Governor Odell
had promised to try to get the Fidelio
Company SO ton.
Five-Year Contract
"Did you try to get that from the
Knickerbocker Company" Mr.. Lock
II did, and Mr.. oler wrote me that
Governor Odell had nothing to say
about the price of ice," Mr.. Goldberg
replied. Cali Governor Odell's author
ity was limited to the production of
each plant, was told"
Mr. Goldberg said that he would pro-
duce this letter at later hearing. The
contract between Goldberg and the
Knickerbocker Ice Company called for
the delivery of 450 tons of ice a week
in cakes of 800 pounds, at a price of
24A cents a cake. The contract was
entered into in 1919 and was to run
five years.
