, the Mississippi Valley association, in dicates the resentment of middle west
 commercial interests over the eastern
 trunk lines policy that would deprive shippers of that section and in ter ritory farther west of their presen. privilege of routing their export ship
 ments through any Atlantic or gulf
 port on an equal freight rate basis "The current newspaper account Mir. Merrick wrote "of a concerted eff
 fort by eastern railroad trunk lines to
 cancel the existing export freight rates from Central Freight association
 territory to South Atlantic and gulf
 ports is a challenge to the business in-
 terests of the great manufacturing centers of the middle west and to the shippers of the entire west.
 If the eastern trunk lines carry out the policy outlined by the president of one of those lines to lay the matter before the interstate commerce com mission they will find arrayed against them the solid mmercial interests and organizations of the west and mid west, which is the originating terri tory of much of the freight of the 10 south Atlantic and gulf ports.
 The contention of the eastern trunk lines and of officials of eastern com mercial organizations that the present 1 export freight tariffs are discriminat- ing against them has been refuted by no less an authority than Walker D. Hines, who when director general of railroads said: Eastern railroads have no good grounds for objection on the basis of mileage as the distance of Canadian ports is very considerably greater than to south Atlantic or gulf ports.'
 MT. Hines reference to Canadian ports draws attention to phase of this question that cannot be ignored. An official of the Cunard lines is one of the men taking a prominent part in the movement to cancel the existing export rates to gulf and south Atlantic ports, and thus to restore practical monopoly to north Atlantic ports-in- cluding Montreal St. John and Halifax, all British ports. The British owned Cunard lines would greatly profit by the change
 Much of the prosperity of our great west and midwest depends on keeping open all our national gateways to the sea. Let us see that they are kept open"
 In statement issued here today, after having been shown MT. Merrick's S letter, Matthew Hale, president of the South Atlantic States association, said MT. Merrick is quite right. The south Atlantic states will cooperate gladly and vigorously with the states of the middle west and the gulf in the fight for the economic freedom of the west, and against this attempt on the part of the selfish eastern trunk lines to re-establish their strangle hold on the foreign trade of the United States. This attack of the trunk lines is ex . actly in liE with the attempt of the New ork-British shipping interests nine months ago under the leadership of the head of the Cunard line in this country to remove competitive expor, rates to the gulf and south Atlantic ports, while keeping in force competi- tive rates to British ports in Canada"
