TERMS FOR MEXICO

whole matter and thus render in
operative the troublesome clause.
The broad theory on which the
American government is proceeding is
this: Mexico has indeed a legally
elected government. and from that
viewpoint is entitled to favorable con-
sideration but is the government
capable Of fulfilling international
obligations. capable of adjusting
eQuitably the many international
points in dispute between the two
countries?
That is something for the outside
power to decide. and before such a
judgment is made assurances can be
asked for and given which will clear
up any doubts and which. also, can
be used as a basis for discu ssion in
the event that at some future time
another Mexican administration not
80 friendly to the American points
of contention comes into ONCE. The
prospect for favorable outcome of
the negotiations going on at Mexico
City is bright. but nothing tangible
can be announced as yet by either
government. as it is the method and
not the substance which is causing
the delay in agreement.

British Ship Work Slow
Lloyds Report for the Quarter
Shows Slump in Industry

LONDON, Oct % (By MaiD Ship
building returns for the quarter ended
September 80, issued by "Lloyds Reg
ister," indicate that the shjpbuilding
industry is slackening up considerably
For the quarter 3,282,972 tons of
British merchant tonnage were under
construction, or 247,oo0 tons less than
the previous quarter and 5000 tons
below the tonnage building twelve
months ago. The figures tor the quar-
ter, however. include 731 900 tons on
which work has been suspended and
$4,000 tons delayed in completion.
The tonnage commenced during the
quarter amounted only to 81 ,343 tons,
or decline of 455,000 tons on the
corresponding quarter last year, which,
the report says, "is perhaps the most
significant figure in the return as in
dicatng the very unfavorable outlook
for the immediate future"
The total tonnage building abroad is
given as 2,260,O06 tons, including 375,-
900 tons upon which work is suspended
The countries where the largest amount
of work is suspended are Italy and the
United States.

Plans for Lower Charges

Interstate Commerce Com
mission Told N. Y. Should
Have Benefits of Seaboard

Protest against the proposed reduc-
tion in transcontinental railroad rates
as threatening to deprive New York in
dustries and shipping of their natural
seaboard advantages has been made by
the Merchants Association, which has
instructed its traffic manager, J. C. Lin
coin, to attend the hearings before the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The association admits that the rail-
roads are entitled to make rates which
are forced by water competition
through the Panama Canal, but asserts
that apparently many of the rates are
too low to be justified by this argu-
ment, and are proposed in an effort to
give the interior preference over New
York. If this is the case, the associa-
tion says in resolution adopted by the
board Of directors, the trade of the city
will be injured and traffic will be di
verted from intercoastal ship lines
here. The resolution reads as follows:
Resolved, That the Merchants As
sociation of New York reaffirms the
position heretofore taken in the 'Spo-
kare Case. the 'Transcontnental
Fourth Section Cases. and the Inter
proposed rate adjustments that will de-
prive New York and Eastern cities of
their natural advantage or which, by
artificial rate adjustments, would tend
to unreasonably limit their ability to
market the goods produced in Eastern
territory on the Pacific Coast; and be
it further
Resolved, That while the central
territory points are entitled to some
relief from the existing all-rail rates
to the Pacific Coast points in competi
tion with the carriers by rail and wa
ter, the extent Of the reductions from
such territory should be such as not to
deprive New York and Eastern terri
tory of its natural advantages due to
the water routes serving the Atlantic
ports; and be it further
Resolved, That for the protection of
the trade and welfare of New York, the
Merchants Association of New York be
represented by its traffic bureau at the
hearings before the Interstate Com
merce Commission, where these rates
will be under consideration, with the
view of protecting the interests of the
Port of New York and the development
of necessary facts for guidance of the
commission in the rendering of its de-
cision.''
The application of the railroads
seeks the approval of the Interstate
Commerce Commission for the estab-
lishment of reduced rates upon large
number of commodities produced in
Eastern and central territories to Pa
cihc Coast ports in competition with
steamship companies operating through
the Panama Canal
The proposal of the railroads is to
apply the same rate upon particular
commodities from all territory on and
east Of the Mississippi River and north
of the Ohio and Potomac rivers, or, in
other words, so-called postage
stamp" rate.

Offer to Pay Chinese Interest
Chinese Bankers Request Ex-
tension of Principal

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-Offer to
pay interest due on two loans extended
to China by American banking COM
panies has been made by the Chinese
Bankers Association, Paul S. Reinsch,
legal counselor to the Chinese govern
ment, said tonight in a statement dis
cussing China's financial situation.
The association, however, has request
ed that repayment of principal be ex-
tended for six months or a wear. he
added.
eve must understand that an extern
sive popular movement is going on in
China for the reorganization of the
government in the provinces and the
nation" the statement said. "This
movement is organized through the
chambers of commerce, the educational
societies and industrial bodies, which
have centra national organization in
Shanghai.
This association of the people of
China has declared emphatically that
1T wishes the government to make no
further foreign commitments until the
internal situation in China is settled
and the reconstruction completed
While it would seem that there could
be no objection to the refunding of
an existing loan, this matter has been
complicated by the fact that the pacific
development loan carries a provision
for an American co-inspector of the
wine and tobacco revenues. This loan
has, now been turned over to the Amer
lean group, which in turn will put it
into the international consortium.
That means international con-
troll. The Chinese people OBJ
ject to making such commitment.
The government itself might take the
loan, but the people would object"

Germany Adds 60
Ships to Merchant
Fleet i'm Z Months
Proceeds Rapidly to Rebuild
Shipping Destroyed by
War; 400, 600 Gross Tons
Acquired, More Chartered

Germany is proceeding rapidly with
the reconstruction of her merchant
marine, the Western European Divis-
ion Of the Department of Commerce
states. In the first seven months of
1921 she acquired sixty vessels, aggre-
eating about 100000 gross tons These
include seven ships Of 10000 tons,
nine of 5000 to 10000 tons, eleven Of
5000 to 5000 tons and nine for which
the tonnage is not given. The figures
do not include chartered vessels in the
service of German companies. such as
100000 tons operated by the Kosmos
Line on the west coast OF South
America.
At the end of 1920, after the de-
liveries stipulated by the Versailles
Treaty, Germany had about 100000
gross tons of shipping of more than
1000 tons each and about 100000 tons
of vessels under 1000 tons each. Be
fore the war her merchant marine ag
gregatcd 5,240000 gross tons.
More than twenty Of the vessels
added to the fleet this year are old
bottoms, fitted out with submarine
Diesel engines. At present there are
under construction in German yards
twenty motor ships, aggregating 132,-
900 tons and 81 ,500 horsepower While
some shipbuilders insist that the price
of Diesel oil in Germany makes the
employment of the motor vessel at
present less economical than the coal
burning or oil-burning steamer, others
figure that the relative saving in
weight and space in the vessel, as we'll
as the time and labor in refueling, is
sufficiently great to more than offset
the present higher cost of oil.
1t is estimated that at present the
German shipyards have producing
capacity of 100000 tons annually,
which is 80 per cent more than before
the war
Complete statistics of the foreign
traffic being carried by the German
merchant marine are not available, but
a steady and rapid return to pre-war
conditions is seen in the growing ac-
tivity of the principal ports. Even
in 1920 Bremen regained half it's nor
NAL shipping and the Kiel Canal 90
per cent. Hamburg mas regalneu tne
steady advance it manifested from
1900 to 1914, though not yet in such
large proportions as before the war.
Taking 25,O0O,OOO tons as the average
pre-war years activity. Hamburg's
traffic in 1919 regained II per cent of
its former proportions, 35 per cent in
1920, and 60 per cent during the first
half of 1921. In June, 1921, 65 per
cent of the outgoing vessels few the

Flames ON U. S. Oiler
Brought Under Control
Towed Against Strong Wind TO
Keep Fire Aft; Crew Picked

NORFOLK. Va, Nov. 20. - The fire
which broke out on the U. S. Oiler Ala
media while forty miles off Cape Henry
was brought under control yesterday
morning, the Coast Guard Cutter Man
ming reported on her arrival here to-
night with the Alameda's crew who
abandoned the ship.
The oiler was reported to be in no
danger of sinking as result of the
blaze, which broke out in an oil tank
and will be towed to Norfolk, it was
said. When the Manning and other
craft from the Norfolk Yard, equipped
with fire fighting apparatus, reached
the Alameda she was ablaze aft and
the fire was confined to that part of the
ship, by towing her against a strong
northerly gale for several hours, the
Manning reported.
The oilers crew were picked up by
the steamer Palloa, after leaving the
Alameda in small boats in a choppy
sea, and later were transferred to the

Republicans Will
Sign Conference
Tax Bill Report
Smoot Reverses After Refus-
ing at First; Considers 1T
Better Than Present Law:
Hopes 1t Is Temporary

From The T'fbunes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.--Senator
Smoot. of Utah, one of the Republican
leaders on the conference committee on
the tax bill, said tonight he had de-
cided to sign the conference report.
He yesterday refused to sign it..
Representative Longworth, of Ohio,
also refused at first, but eventually
did so.
after comparing the bill with the
existing tax law ] have decided to sign
the conference report" said Senator
Smoot. "I have come to that conclu-
sion not because I like the bill but be-
cause I believe it Is better in some re-
spects than existing law and because I
believe it will be better for business to
have the bill passed than to continue
the present uncertainty. I am thor
oughly dissatisfied with the measure,
however, and | shall sign the confer
will be only temporary. AS between
the present tax law and the new bill, [
regard the latter as merely the lesser
of two evls.'
Senator Smoot was asked whether he
believed the new tax measure when
enacted would continue in force for
year or two.
81 hope less than that" he answered.
Senator Smoot is one of the foremost
sales tax advocates in Congress and
his attitude makes it clear that the
advocates of that tax intend to keep
up the agitation for it regardless of its
recent double defeat 1t already has
been announced by Chairman Fordney
of the Ways and Means Committee
that efforts will be made to raise the
money for the soldiers bonus by means
of a sales tax. Senator Smoot however,
wants a general overhauling Of tax
legislation, with the sales tax as the
basis for the next system.
With Senator Smoot signing the con-
ference report all the Republican con-
ferees have lined up for it. The lead
ers recognize the fact there is intense
opposition to the conference report, but
they expect TO be able to muster the
votes to force it through both houses.
Chairman Fordney hopes to have the
House adopt the conference report
Monday. In the Senate an outbreak
of bitter criticism against the bill from
Democrats and part of the Republicans
is certain and how long it will continue
is matter Of doubt. Senator Penrose,
chairman of the Finance Committee,
hopes that the general desire to adj
journ the extra session about Thanks
giving time will be a material help in
driving the bill to passage.
