Competition for South Ameri'

Brings Drastic Cuts.

The United States Shipping
Board is prepared to take up the
gauntlet thrown down by private
British shipping interests RESPONSE
BILE for the passenger rate war
in the South America trade.
Without warning, the ampert a
Holt Company on Friday clipped
800 from the fare to Rio de ia.
Metro and s120 from the fare to
Buenos Aires. This forced the
Munson Steamship Lines to meet
the cut. The Munson lines oper.
ate Shipping Board vessels, the
American Legion and the South. )rn
Cross.
American competition with fsst
vessels has been making serious
inroads into the business of the
British competitors, and the pre-.
cipitate action OF Friday is inter.
preted as their answer to the
American challenge of superior
service.
That the cut In the South Ameri-
can fares was not the result OF
concerted action on the part of the
operators was evidenced by the
fact that President Frank Munson
of the Munson Lines, was In con
ference with Shipping Board Off
cials here on Friday, and at that
time was not advised of the "ad
justment" He received his first
intimation that the rates were tC

was most ambiguous as to the

with the Russians until the Rus

on by the big Five" Lloyd
George replied that the memoran-
dunn had mot been issued officially
to the conference. Barthou replied
that the memorandum repudiated
everything the official reply pre-

during the day had given the In

not recognized wartime debts and
would not do so.
It was generally believed tonight
that the conference will be held

Credit For Russia
Presents Greatest
Conference Problem
BY LINCOLN STEFFENS.

(Copyris hit. 1s22,by Universal Service, Inc }
GENOA, April 22.-The internA-
tional economic conference has gone
underground to tackle it's real pur-
pose-a purpose which the Russians
describe as credit without empire"
How can financial capital be OBJ
tanned without losing sovereignty
That is the question asked by the
Russians citing Cuba, Turkey, China
and the demands of the United
States on Mexico as examples to
avoid.
Russia Needs Capital.
Ratvoslxy, the "Ukrainian Lenin," {"
says smilingly that Russia must
have capital-must have IL to help
the world. But Ratovsky under
stands the danger of allowing credi-
tors to control the customs duties
and the treasury. That means
banker control of government
which means empire.
Therefore. a commission OF ex-
perts must find another basis of
credit.
The Russians suggest a guarantee
OF profits, giving large concessions
Tor exploitation, without title.
III the Russian plan is accepted,
there Will be no excuse for empires.
English Common Sense.
The English seem clearly to be In
favor of the Russian plan. Lloyd
George is bound that the conference
will succeed.
The Russians seem strong because
there Is at present harmony I'm their
ranks. They have nothing to lose.
Certain II is that they will not yield
to the naturalization of all property.
The British explain the Russian
revolution against property in such
way that the Soviet government
cannot be expected to succumb com
pletely to naturalization.
