Prevents Making War Planes

Berlin. April 20.
Germany and the Allies have reached
a deadlock in aviation. The Allies IN
tended to withdraw military control over
German aviation on May ), and to permit
the Germans to reopen international
commercial flying. But fearing that the
Germans would construct powerful COM
mercial airplanes easily adaptable TO war
purposes. the Allies provided that single
seaters should have light powered mo-
tor with speed not in excess of los
miles an hour and climbing capability
of less than 1900 feet.
Allied military experts point out that
full commercial freedom would permit
the Germans. with their trained person.
mel and factories intact. needing few out
side materials, 10 manufacture large
number OF potential war planes.
Capt Willy Meyer. a leading German
airship expert, admitted that commercial
planes are easily tranSfcrmable into war
planes, but said tnat the Allies condi-
tions made International commercial
aviation impossible for Germany Should
the Allies insist upon their restrictions
German companies must needs migrate
or close UP shop. he added Officials say
that Germany would, as d reprisai. close
German territory to the transconlinental
air services of other countries.
Ii is evident that the Germans can
cause trouble and the Allies dilemma Is
a real one. The Germans have not re-
Piled to the restrictions. former Iep-
pelin commander stated the other day
that an American company will utilize
the Schuette-Lanz airship patents In an

adjustment / made no reference to
main service at any time in any way.
You close your wire by stating that
the South American berth has beer over
tonnaged; that there Is no necessity for
a number of steamers to make useless

Mandate of Jones Act.
Permit me to say In reply to that
that the American Government under
mandate of the Jones act established
ships of its flag on this essential trade
route in order that American ships might
ply between North American and South
American ports. thus insuring regular
communication for passenger freight and
mall. so that by no chance beyond the
control of America there might at any
time be interruption in communication
between North and South America.
IF this very proper and not to be
questioned ambition of the American
people as whole resulted temporarily
in -tonnaging. no cut in rates could
correct the matter. Time and coopera-
alternative would be If the tonnage was
not to be increased over what it was
when you commanded the route, that
America withdraw It's ships between its
own ports and it's customers and friends
in South America.
THE only other thing to be done would
be. If America was not willing to do this.
for you to attempt to force America to
do it by cutting the rates so low as to
make the whole transaction highly and
discouragingly Improbable during a
period when you were not running ships
regularly in this trade. but running
them in more profitable trades.
you close your telegram by stating
that YOU never have and do not seek any
rate war. your desire being to cooperate
on any fair basis with our board. We
are willing to meet you in full in that
spirit; we also have and we are now.
I'VE feel that nothing can be ac-
complished by further public correspond
ence. While we herewith respond in all
courtesy to your wire we will desist
from further interchange of communica-
ton in this way.
I'm the best of spirit, If you wish to
meet i'm conference with me or any Of
my associates with a view to establish
ing a permanent policy in our relations
in this trade, you will find, so far as
the Shipping Board goes. that We Will
gladly cooperate with you In any at
tempt to operate on business basis.
I'VE have but two desires: One to
keep our own flag going in this run, and
the other. to do nothing that good busi-
ness practice and amity would forbid in
our relations with ships of other flags
that compete with u.s."

The United States will carry the
ship rate war to the doors of Great
Britain, it was intimated tonight by
Chairman A. d. Lasker of the Ship
ping Board in reply to telegram re-
ceived by him from Lamport & Holt of
New York. regarding TIE cutting of
steamship rates to South America.
In meeting the rate cut by the Lam
port & Holt Line by reducing it still
below the British line figures. Chair
man Lasker served notice that the
American flag is on the high seas to
stay. Mr.. Lasker's statement declared
that the action of the British line is
"unfriendly" in cutting the rates to
South America, and that it was done
to discourage the operation of Ameri-
can vessels to South America.
Mr.. Lasker declared that he had but
two desires: One, to keep the Ameri-
can flag in the run, and the other, ito
do nothing that good business practice
and amity would forbid in our rela-
tons with ships of other flags to COM
pete with u.s."
Text of Lasker's Letter.
Mr.. Lasker charged the British line
with taking their ships off Improbable
runs TO put them on profitable ones.
thereby leaving the American vessels to
bear the burden of the regular services
at n cut in rates. The full text of Mr..
Lasker's letter to Lamport and Holt was
as follows:
