US. SUBM|TSP PLAN
FOR RUSSIAN TRADE
State Department Denies Presi-
dent Will Seek to Defer
Action by Allies.
The United states has suggested to

The United states has suggested to
the allies plan for opening trade
with Russian cooperative societies,
II was officially stated today.
Since the decision OF the allies to
trade with Russian cooperative So
cieties, there has ben an exchange OF
views as to methods of such trade be-
tween the allies and the United States,
IT was stated, hut the allies have not
expressed an opinion as to the advis-
ability OF the plan suggested by this
Government. The plan offered by this
Government will not be made public.
The State Department today denied
emphatically press reports from Paris
that President Wilson has asked the
allies to defer action as to plan Tor
trading with Russia until the views OF
the United states can be heard. II
was stated that the President has
sent no note concerning trade with
Russia to the allied premiers. The
only communications have been those
with regard to the plan for trade with
Russian cooperative societies which
precludcs any trade with Soviet Rus
sia as n government.
The United States has not been in
yited to participate In tho proposed
allied mission to be sent to investi.
gate Russia, It was stated. This mis-
sion would operate under the league
of nations. and therefore this Gov
ernment could not be officially repre-
sented. However. II IL regarded as
probable that unofficial representa-
tiyes Of the United States may sc-
company the mission to make re-
port to this Government.

ness as quickly as possible"
Chairman John Barton Payne, OF

The war IL over, and it's time for
the Government to get out OF tho

Payne remarked. "Of course, we
must work out all of the problems
which the war has left us, in the way
OF a determination of claims on con-
tracts already made. But when these
problems are disposed of IL Is time
to shut up shop"
Chairman Payne announced that
the Shipping Board had gone on rec
ord. through the adoption OF a reso-
luton, to the effect that all future
merchant shipping operations should
be carried out under private contract.

Expresses Opinion.

The business of the Hamburg
American Line is to be brought un-
der the American flag.
A conference between John Barton
Payne, chairman Of the Shipping
Board, and the Senate Commerce
Committee today resulted in action
whereby sixty shipping services are
to be turned over to American en-
terprise.
Vote Is 10 to 4.
The Senate Commerce Committee,
by q vote OF 10 to 4, resolved that "it
is very desirable to take advantage
of the opportunity to get the trade
of these services under the American
flag, and that this should be done
under "A satisfactory srrana"m rrt
consistent with the general Interest,"
of the United States"
The Senate Commerce Committee
came to the conclusion that no d.
rect arrangement should be made by
the board with the Hamburg-Ameri-
can Line. but that IL IL desirable and
in the interest of our trade and our
American merchant marine that an
American
Arrangement by which this business
could be secured and done under the
American flag, and that the board
deems IL desirable to cooperate In
the accomplishment of this object by
the sale or chartering OF ships upon
terms to be approved by it.
No Concrete Proposal
Senator Jones today stated that n o
concrete proposal was submitted or
presented for the approval OF the
committee by Chairman Payne, but
the Shipping Board desire the judg.
ment of the committee upon the de-
STABILITY of seeking to have these
services taken over.
Sixty services, formerly served by
the neutrality-suspicious. line, have
been out Of commission since 1914.
The Hamburg American interests
some time ago offered the Shipping
Board the opportunity to take them
over and the latter believe that a
working arrangement should be
made.
In taking its action today the COM
mittee gave the board to understand
that it was simply expressing it's
opinion as to the desirability of get
ting this trade under the American
flag, and the chairman of the board
expressly stated that II was not his
desire that the committee should
share In any responsibility in pass e
upon any concrete proposal that
might be submitted. or in working
out the details and determining the
terms of any arrangement that might
be made

Deny Reports That

In Mexican Oil

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 21-Reports that
the Mexican government Is favoring
British oil companies were denied here
by Joaquin Santaella. chief of the oil
bureau of the department Of industry,
commerce and labor. He asserted
oil companies We're encountering diff
cuties because they have not shown
r disposition to comply with the regu-
lations Of the oil decree of Jan. IS, 1918,
and also constitutional provisions re-
garding the necessity of submitting to
Mexican law"
British companies, he said, were push
ing their work vigorously because they
have complied with every governmental
regulation relating to Incorporation I'M
der Mexican laws and followed the reg
ulations governing oil land holdings
The Corona company, which is a Mex
lean corporation under British manage
mcnt. but with Dutch capital, is encoun-
terlng no trouble.
According to Senior Santaella, the only
American company complying with
present oil exploitation regulations Is
the Huasteca corporation which has
been granted permits for pushing new
operations. Statements that British
companies dominate tho oil fields are
declared incorrect by the bureau chief,
who says the capitalization Of American
companies In Mexico aggregates $780,
600 600, or three times British invest
