I.asker Asked
For Relief by
Green Star Co.

- your board 10 aware, no profit can
BE made in the shipping business dur
ing the present acute depression.
The undersigned committee Of The
bondholders has struggled for months
to keep out OF receivership, but it
has reached the end Of It's resources,
and the only way in which the COM
tAining some prompt adjustment Of its
contract with your board. under which
Il purchased the large fleet Of steam
ers late in 1919 and early in 1920. The
continuance OF the company is impos-
sible without cash to pay It's current
expenses until business improves II
your board cannot grant to this com
pAny any refund Of cash, the only pos
siblc solution Of the company's diff
eulties is to get free tonnage on which
Il can place a irst mortgage as q
basis for current credit"
Paid $2O6 a Deadweight Ton
The petition recites that the Green
Star Line purchased the steamships
Lancaster. West Irmo, Islay, Cavanai
and Cawthorn, on which they paid on
and the steamships Canibas, Maine,
Sagahadoc and Woonsocket, on which
they made partial payment of 1920
1871, a total of $3,s24,6 63.46. These
boats were bought at an average price
of $2o6 lightweight ton, the total
amounting to 1916 tons
The bon1hclders then invite the
boards consideration OF the fact that
the company purchased four vessels
from the Northwest Steel and the CO.
lumbia River Shipbuilding Companies.
Clauseas, having total lightweight
tonnage of 34,4S0, for $s,36o,S67, thus
releasing the board from its obligations
to these shipbuilding firms and reliev
Ing it of that burden. The petition
continues:
ION account Of the high prices at
which these vessels were purchased
and the current business depression,
which is particularly acute in the
Green Star wholly unable to complete
It's purchase contracts with this board,
but it is unable to continue in exist
ence unless it obtains some relief from
your board on an equitable basis,
whereby the amount of the payments in
respect of these vessels can be made
available to 1t either in the form of
cash or in the form Of unencumbered
property, which can be used as a basis
Of credit.
sour request for srch relief Is based
on our belief that it is and has been
the policy Of our government and of
your board to put vessels into the
hands Of American citizens on a basis
under which such citizens can continue
to own and operate them. 1t has now
become obvious that this company has
purchased it's vessels at a price far
above what vessels were actually worth
on any sound and permanent basis
No doubt this company is primarily re-
snOnsible for it's error Of iudorr ant in
paying these high prices, but we believe
that your board will not consider it ad-
visable to stand on this technical posi-
ton.
"This company and the other pioneer
purchasers were encouraged to buy
American tonnage by the United States
government and they felt that the

rights held under the Monroe Doctrine,
and the answer was in the negative.
He added that Bolivia was asking n re-
vision Of the treaty not only because
Chile had not executed the treaty, but
because Bolivian economic and politi-
cal independence was threatened by
the development Of conditions. in which
Chile was dominating Bolivia.
His recital of the ancient quarrel
was voluminous, not only on the As
sembly's floor, but also in the League
Palace, where representatives of both
sides continued their arguments this
afternoon.
Senior Edwards, on behalf Of Chile,
said that the province in dispute was
almost entirely Chilean in population
and rightfully Chilean territory.
Senior Aramayo, in his rejoinder, point
ed out that there were rich copper
mines owned by the Guggenheims in
the province.
A further echo of the n-American
status in the League came this after
noon in the meeting Of the council on
amendments, in which the contention
of Argentina that Article | should be
amended SO as to allow all nations to
enter the League regardless of ere
dentials, was again voted down, 20 to d.
All the Latin-Americ members voted
Tor the Argentina theory except Brazil
and Uruguay.
M. Noblemaire, the French delegate
on the committee, said such an amend
ment would serve to break down the
League.
M. Benes, the Czecho- Slovakian mem
Der of the committee, interviewed on
the subject of the Chilean dispute, said
Chile's position was excellent, because
we could not be called in to revise
treaty concluded twenty-one years
after the Chilean war and already
seventeen years in execution.
m. Benes sees in the stand Of Chile
added strength for his amendment to
Aticle 81 proposing regional groups
which would regulate affairs between
their own members. Whether the
creation of an American group would
conflict with the authority of the Mon
roe Doctrine, however, is a question of
much conjecture here.
1t was pointed out that if, under M.
Benes's proposal, Latin-America
formed regional group of nations,
their regulations to intervene in dis
putes probably would conflict with the
authority of the Monroe Doctrine.
Questions regarding the jurisdiction.
of the Monroe Doctrine as against the
jurisdiction of the league will afford
some of the most interesting discus
sions to be heard later on the league

succor them or endure the sight of

One Tartar told still more horrible
tale of two mass suicides, which, he
said, were not isolated instances. A
whole Tartar family assembled in their
house and the oldest man in it lighted
the stove and closed all the outlets
for the smoke and fumes, with the re-
suit that the whole family of men,
women and children were sufocated
and the bodies were cremated in the
house, which finally caught fire.
l walked through the town toward
the volga. Before l had gone hun

on the pavement grooming terribly. He
was in the last stages of starvation
and clearly had only few hours at

was still more dreadful sight. A
woman was lying huddled against the
fence. She was motionless. Beside
her sat two little skeleton-like chill

Relatives of Burren at the home ex-
