WASHINGTON, July 3o.-A bid of
sl0,0oo,000 for the whole governm en- t
feet of 2S7 wooden vessels was re-
ceved to-day by the Shipping Board
from R. A. Thompson & Co, New York,
but the envelope did not contain a
check for 100000, the required 10
per cent deposit.
The Shipping Board was advised
later by the Thompson company that
It's slO,O0O,o00 bid had been forwarded
Inadvertently. Officers said that though
consideration was given a proposal t,
BID upon the feet and tenders had been
prepared. the corporation had de-
clded not TO enter an offer, and, in
consequence, did not prepare the re-
CURED 100000 check.
Five OF the fifteen bids received were
rom Japanese brokers OF Seattle, one
q q, them offering $40 q ship for ten
SLIPS. The bids ranged from that to
st,oO0, offered by the C. S. Hutchinson
company, of Cleveland, for the ship
Stnrgeon Bay.
The Ship Construction and Trading
company, of New York, offered $1,000
sacn Tor the whole fleet; Pendleton
srothers, Of New York, S25, 900 for five
saips; Forestall & MacQuaid, of Sc
sa,tsie, s25,675 for forty-th- ships, and

Direct Trade With
America Declared
Needed by Poland
Commercial Representative
Advises Establishment of
Selling Organizations
Abroad TO Promote Plan

Interesting facts connected with the
rehabilitation of Poland were made
public yesterday by the American
Polish Chamber Of Commerce ard In
dustry in the United States.
Roman Poznanski, director Of the
Polish American Society in that coun.
try, and one of the founders Of the
American-Polish Chamber of Com
merce in Warsaw, who is visiting
America to study conditions here, en-
phasizes tho need for direct trade rela-
tions and the establishment of selling
organizations in his native land.
'The disturbances in Upper Slesia,
so falsely interpreted in cartain circles
as a tendency of the Polish nation to-
ward adventurous enterprises, have
come to an end" says Mr. PoznansAi
in ar article in the official organ of the
local chamber. THE leaders of Po-
land are giving all their attention to
economic affairs as the basis of the
prosperity Of the state. The govern
ment is preparing to change from a
system of rigorous contro, to one of
unrestricted trade

ishment OF the Central Export and I'M
port Commission, July l.. will give
american business men an opportunity
OF dealing direct with Poland instead
or through middleman. lie admits
That Poland. like other European coun-
trles with low currency, tries to avoid
n cash business, and that the govern
ment Is only buying goods on credit
conditions. He strongly advises Ameri-
cans seeking trade with Russia to look
into the advisahility Of carving a
atock OF goods in Poland destined for
RUSSIA. He also advocates the estab-
hahnent by American exporters Of a
saes representative in his country.
There is a great opportunity not only
TO supply Poland with raw materials.
machinery and finished products, but
also TO invest capital in Polish indus
try, he adds.
:. according to a recent statement by
NJ. Przanowski, the Polish Minister OF
Trade and Industry, the industrial and
commercial life of Poland is gradually
revIving. OF the 100000 homes de-
stroyed through military operations in
roland nearly 100000 have been re-
built. Nearly 3,000 kilometers Of new
railway lines have been laid down
great port for river navigation is
nearing completion at Saska Island,
near Warsaw; coal production has
reached 80 per cent of the pre-war
output and n sum of 1923 600 600 marks
mas been spent on new machinery for
the mines. The monthly production Of
salt has risen to $1,000 tons. Before
the war 5302GG workmen were en-
ployed in the industries of the terri
tories which now form the Polish
Republic; this year the total is $40 900.
Reviewing Poland's foreign trade,
a special correspondent says that Ger
many Is still the largest factor and
that, efforts to develop new foreign
markets. in place Of Germany and Aus
trla have met with only partial success.
