BRITISH RAIL AT
U. S. ship LAW
Called Retaliation and
Discriminatory Trade
Measure

LONDON, August 5.-The Jones
Bill, characterized as Americas bid
for shipping supremacy" is denounc-
ed by the shipping expert of the Sun
day Observer as 'retaliatory and dis
criminatory."
He declares that the war has
taught other nations the importance
of owning a merchantile marine and
that jealousy has been aroused
throughout the world by the ability
and magnifcance" of the British
nerchantile establishment. ''In two
countries" he asserts, Gin particular,
is feeling of most bitter jealousy
two countries are France and the
United States"
The writer declares that there is
nothing to which foreigners can OBJ
ject in the principal provisions of
the Jones Bill insofar as it is in
tended to coordinate the transport
resources of the United States
whether ocean, coastwise or inland
shipping, railways, ports and docks
so far as to form one immense I'M
dertaking to force American export
and import trade into the holds of
American ships.
He says. however, that some of
the clauses of the bill were intend
ed to be discriminatory against Great
Britain and Japan. Among these he
mentions those which authorize pre-
ferential treatment to American YES
sells in American ports. The insur'
ance provisions of the bill, he says,
impose the most drastic forms of re-
turns, (which are based absolutely
upon the methods of the German in
surance> companies, against which
America herself protested so bitter
w previous to her entry into the
war. These have been devised admit
teddy for the purpose of learning ev-
cry iota of business transacted by
foreign companies with a view to
passing the same on the American
concerns. The object of course is
that having this information, the
government may assist the Amerl-
can companies entirely to GUST the
British insurance.
SIN the same vein is the clause
which valves in favor of American
insurance companies the Sherman
antitrust law. This is en- tirely on
a par with the methods adopted by
the Shipping Board during the wal
when it transpired the confidential
information given to the Shipping
Board solely for the purpose OF the
war was being used to enable Am
erican shipping to defeat British ship
ping after the war.
I'VE in this country now know
that we are to be faced with the
most bitter competition for the SUI
premacy of the seas which we have
ever had to meet. We are IN Tor a
big fight, but before America can
win the fight she must create a ma
tional feeling for merchant1le ma
rine. She must prepare to pay. con
siderably higher freight and lnsur-
ance rates on all she imports and ex-
norts and she must be wiling 10
forego profits on her shipping en-
terprises for many years: The per
SON who iss most willing. to feel the i1S
pinch of Americas ambitions Will
he the American exporter.

TWO BURLINGTON
BANKS UNITE
They Will Retain Individual Iden-
titles and Business Will Be Car
ried on Without Chicago or
New York Accounts.

Burlington Gazette: Uniting of two
great banking interests of Burlington
for the purpose of providing what
they consider as proper banking
facilities for the larger wholesale,
jobbing and manufacturing interests,
as well as the general increased run
of business, the boards of directors
of the Iowa State Savings bank and
the First National bank of Burling-
ton have recommended plans to the
stockholders of the two institutions
whereby the stockholders shall be-
come jointly interested in both
banks in proportion to their respec-
tive holdings. This announcement
was made this morning, the culmina-
ton OF series of conferences and
discussions which have continued for
some time.
1t means great move in the finan-
cial status of Burlington, and, if ap-
proved by the stockholders, will pro
vide a combined capital in excess Of
one million dollars with total re-
sources of more than eight millions
OF dollars. In brief, the following
facts are essential:
The plan meets unanimous ap-
prevail of the directors of each bank.
It is not merger but is uniting
of interests constituting working
agreement
Each bank will retain it's individual
identity.
Stockholders will share alike in
each bank in proportion to their re-
spective present holdings.
Resources of more than eight mil
lion dollars Combined capital stock
and surplus of about $1,120,O0O.
All plans subject to definite ap-
prevail of stockholders of each bank.
According to the announcements
made by the officers of the institu-
lions this morning, Burlington inter-
ests will be in position to do their
banking exclusively in Burlington
without resorting to Chicago or New
York accounts. The plan, which is
Identical with the plan adopted by
the First National bank of Chicago
and the First Trust and Savings
bank of Chicago as well as the Con-
tinental and Commercial National
bank and the Continental and Com
mercial Trust and Savings bank of
Chicago, has been carefully gone
over in detail by the directors here,
and it has met with the unanimous
approval Of the directors of both the
First National and the Iowa State
bank.
