BRITISH SHIPPING MEN

Relations of Germany and
u. S. Cause Concern.

Much concern is being shown In Brit
ish marine circles at the rapid return
OF Germany 10 power in merchant ship
ping. coupled with the prospect that
the large American fleet viii be sup
ported by Congressional legislation. The
fact that more or less intimate roia-
tions are observed between the Ham
burg. American Line and the North Ger
man Lloyd and American shipping in
terests leads many Britons 70 fear that
the combined forces OF the two rser-
chant marines may be exercised 10 the
detriment OF the British fleet.
The United States and Germany. II is
pointed out in 1914 owned between them
about 5000. 600 gross tons OF shipping. as
compared with 2o250Coo tons belonging
to the British. whereas to-day they
possess l5. 10000 tons Of shipping against
100000 registered IN the United King
dom and i'm the overseas domiaions.
Germany has by dint OF titanic efforts
lifted her merchant fleet from virtually
nothing after the peace TO 10000 tons.
SO far German buyers and buyers
acting for Germany have been content
10 pick up old vessels at low rates, OBJ
serves the London Financial Times, but
quite recently they have flown at much
higher game. and ii is practically Ger
tain that they are willing and able 10
put down dig money TOT steamers OF
good speed and classification. The Ger
man shipbuiiding yards have been hard
at work for long time. and despite the
wild fluctuations OF the mark and the
high cost of iron and steel very good
progress is being made with new mer-
chant shipping. German ships can be
worked at very little cost: therefore
Germany. quoting low rates In the vari-
Gus markets and underwriting wherever
possible. must be regarded as a serious
rival.
Some difficulty is being experienced
by German shipping. however, in obtain
ing sufficiently low insurance rates
from Lloyd's underwriters, who say
that they have figures to show that
the poor quality OF German tonnage Is
causing greater and more frequent
losses proportionately than are being
met by British vessels.

Of Commerce Baked at

Mayor Hylan revealed yesterday that
the Chamber of Commerce OF the State
OF New York declined to send q repre-
sentative to the Board of Estimates
hearings on the Mayors subway plan on
tho ground that "the legal power to
initiate such a development does not lie
with the Board of Estimate"
That disclosure was made in a reply

stated that his entire plan Of developing
and extending the citys transportation
facilities hinged upon the recapture OF
existing lines. He then explained:
Under TIE dual contracts and under

1t appears from the Mayors letter
that Mr. Bush had explained that the
refusal of the chamber 10 SEND repre-

interest in the discussion of this Inn
portant subject" The Mayor. however.
administered n scolding. to the chamber
before closing his epistle.
He wrote. "The reason stated in your
letter for the failure OF your organiza-
ton to be represented at the public hear
ings on the proposed new subway routes
reflects no credit on your organization,
because as the head of large business
interests you should know that the

as such they correspond to the board OF
directors of a business corporation.
