L. S. and Countries
OF Latin America
Form Postal Union
international Congress Also
Provides for Payments for
Transit of World Mails
on Gold Dollar Basis

MADRID, Oct. 10 (By The Associated
fress).-Changes Of sweeping impor-
tance in the postal relations of the
world will be effected as result of
the deliberations of the international
Postal Union Congress last week. Sew
subjects already have drafted their re-
ports, which must be submitted to the
full general committee and thereafter
to the whole Congress Tor final approx
al, but as the committee in most cases
fairly represents the views Of the en-
tire body Of delegates, their reports
are virtually certain of acceptance.
The notable items upon which the
committees reported favorably are;
The establishment of Internal tional
payments for the transit Of mails on q
gold dollar basis.
Increased Maximum Rate
The fixing of an Increased maximum
rate for postage on international mail,
but with the proviso that the United
States and other countries may re-
according to their own ideas so long
accepted by the Union.
In future congresses only parent
countries will have voting power, colo
nies being excluded from voting, al
though they may send delegates
The creation of Pan-American Pos
tai Federation.
Woman Represents America
A far reaching decision was arrived
at by the United States and South and
Central America with reference to fu-
ture postal arrangements. Representa-
tives of the republics of the Western
hemisphere, with the exception of
Venezuela, whose delegate has not yet
arrived met and nominated an execu-
tive committee for the creation of a
Pan American Postal Federation, to in
clude every republic on the western
side of the Atlantic.
The new organization, it is an
nounced, will come into being and be-
gin its functions after the congress
at Buenos Ayres in August. 1921. All
the Latin American delegates and dip
lomats enthusiastically welcomed the
idea.
An innovation in the congress was
the presence of woman delegate IN
the person of Miss Elizabeth Lee
Woods, who without voting power,
represented the United States Jointly
with second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Otto Praeger, and S. M. Weber, as
sistant superintendent of foreign mails.

BURLINGTON, VT, Oct. 10.-A 800
mile endurance test for horses to ex-
tend over five days and into three
states will begin tomorrow at Fort
Ethan Allen, where more than a score
Of spirited mounts were quartered to-
night ready for the ride. The ohejct of
the test, which is the fourth of its
kind to he held in this country, is to
assist in determining by actual per-
formance the best type of horse for
the breeding Of cavalry mounts.
The question whether the thorough

can turf, or the hard descendants of
Vermont's Justin Morgan will produce

Of the test probably will be the basis
for plan under which the American
National Remount Association will use
the $260,000 appropriated this wear
by the Federal government to foster
breeding.
Each of the principal types of saddle
morse is included among the entrants.

minimum Of 245 pounds, OF which 145
pounds is stipulated as the minimum

The condition of the race this year
have been changed somewhat from
those previously held. The weight to

LIN the World of Shipping

Wniie the proposed agreement be-
tween the Hartman interests and the
nourg American Line has been the
'n'el topic of discussion in shippinc
S''eies curing the last week, there have
been other developments of interest.
fr,ncipal of these is the possibility
VI transatlantic rate war conjured
up oy the application of a few oper-
a.ofs or Shipping Board tonnage to the
BOARD for permission to ignore the con-
''rvnce T, rates on ocean freights.
mat the Shipping Board can be
brought to look upon the plan with
favor is not believed. At the present
ieve' OF rates the board has found it
impossible to operate much of its tom
mage on profitable basis and has with
Drawn many ships. A further cut in
the rates could only mean the laying
up OF additional government tonnage,
TO say nothing of the loss entailed in
the operation for Shipping Board YES
sells allocated to private operators.
IL Is OBVIOUS that in general slash
ing cf rates American shipping would
be the chief sufferer, for vessels un-
der the American fac are operated at
greater cost than those of any of the
other leading maritime nations. The
original COST of these vessels is also
higher than for those Of our competitors
and with freights at an improbable
level serious setback would be ad-
mlnlstered to the development of the
American merchant marine
The conferences system of agreement
on ocean rates is generally regarded as
stabllizing factor and preventive
Of rulnous competition. Admiral Rem
son, as chairman of the Shipping
Board, has shown that he appreciates
TINS and has advocated that the opera
tors of the boards vessels adhere to
the conference schedule of rates.
Under the present system of opera
ton the boards vessels are allocatcd to
private firms on basis whereby they
receive a percentage of the gross
lIre'ght receipts. Any reduction from
the present level of rates, therefore.
would mean that not they. but the
shipping Board, would have to bear the
-o-..
i hat the applicants are unwilling to
take any chances on making profits is
lndlcated by the failure of the board to
induce them to charter the vessels and
enter into active competition, with the
New-York tribune., 1920-10-11

chances for profit or loss resting with
themselves. "Heads we win. tails YOU
lose is the game they want to play
with the Shipping Board.
Fortunately this selfish policy Is
seemingly confined to q few of the
newer firms in the shipping field. None
OF the old-establshed lines have at
tempted to gain the boards consent to
siash'ng rates. Instead they have been
turning back to the board vessels allo-
Gated to them as rapidly as it became
manifest that operation at a profit was
no longer possible This is commend
able, in that it will help to reduce the
losses which the board is facing and
which have been reported to run as
high as 81 800 600 day
In measure, however, the laying up
of Shipping Board vessels gives gre ater
opportunities to foreign vessels to keep
firm hold on American trade. 1t has
been shown that American ships are no
longer carrying the bulk of American
trade and continued Withdrawals can
only mean continued reduction in the
volume of goods carried in our own
vessels.
The Shipping Board is having little
success in its efforts to dispose of the
wooden steamers on it's hands. Offers
for only four ships out of 2S5 were
received by the board in response to its
most recent offering, and the prices an
nounced as offered indicate that ship
owners are willing to pay only about
fifth of what it cost the government
to build the vessels. With steel cargo
steamers practically a drug on the
market, there does not seem to be much
chance for the marketing of the
wooden ones.
Shpbuilders are concerned over the
offers of foreign shipbulders to sell
tankers to American owners at prices
we'll below the lowest rates obtainablc
from American yards. While the offers
so far made are only for three tankers,
1T is believed that these are only the
forerunners of a general attempt to
invade the American market. That
protection may be obtained through
official measures to prevent the trans
fer Of these foreign built ships to
American registry is one possibility.
Another is that reduction in steel
prices may make it possible to meet
the foreign shipyards' figures.

New Type of Ship Planned
Kerr Steamship Company Seek
ing to Improve Motor Vessels

Although the Kerr Steamship Com
pany has in service for.y-two steam
ers, aggregating about 100000 tons, it
states that it finds this amount in
sufficient and is now negotiating for
the construction of $5,000000 worth Of
new vessels.
In order to compete successfully with
foreign vessels, it is stated, the COM
pany feels that new type of ship
must be evolved, which will show great
y increased economy of operation over
the Ordinary coal or oil burning steam
er. While the most modern idea along
this line is the Diesel motorship, Rob-
ert A. krug. vice president of the COM
pany, says that the Kerr Steamship
Company is developing plans to i'm
prove even this superior type of vessel.
Of the tonnage being operated by
me me company, twenty steamers, of 145,
Qoo tons, arc owned by the Shipping
Board. 1t is stated that more than
Sl3,o0Oooo has been paid to the board
as profits of the voyages of these
ships

Poles Accuse Americans
Of Helping Jews Escape

GRAUDENZ, Poland. Sept. 18.-An
exodus Of Jews from Poland, which
has been steadily increasing for many
weeks has reached such proportion
that Polish army officers say it is GER
tain that more than 25O,000 soon will
have LETT. Most Of them are bound for
America.
The Poles, who are frankly and Bit
terly hostile toward the Jew, make no
objevtion to their departure, but they
criticize what they assert is the atti-
tudc Of the Joint distribution commit
tee of America, which has many motor
trucks and large supplies throughout
Poland. When number Of trucks
and automobiles of this committee ar
rive here the military authorities re
fused to permit them to proceed or
move about in this area, saying ac-
cuastion had bee nmade that these
trucks were carrying contraband over
the German border under the protec-
tion of the American flag and that
there was evidence the committee had
assisted Jews who were liable for mill
tary service to leave Poland. Proof of
these accusations was requested by the
correspondent, but it was not fur
nished.
The employee of the joint distribu-
ton committee in charge of the de-
tachment of trucks here appealed to
American army officers in Graudenz to
use their influence to have the trucks
released, but the officers declined to
interfere.
A French officer attached to the
French military commission here said
his government had adopted a policy of
expediting the departure from France
Of the large number Of Jews going to
America and that while many of then,
would be content to live in France,
virtually none Of them would remain.
Polish officials say all Of the Jews in
several towns and villages in Posen,
Poland, have departed, en- route to the
United States.
