BERLIN, Dee. 3. - The Ministry Of
Ecohomic Affairs has just rcailirmcd
the ruling 20 prohibit the purchase Of
German shipping shares By foreigners.
The action Of the ministry rs the re-
suit of considerable buying up OF such
shares recently as a part OF the whole
sale Investment, by holders Of marks
abroad, In German securities as a
means OF covering at least q portion
Of the losses due 90 the catastrophe
decline In German exchange.
This represents another effort by
the government 20 keep tho ownership
Of the newly arising merchant marine
In German hands and Is IN line With
tho general policy prevailing IN the
scheme for international cooperation
between certain German and foreign
shipping companies notably American,
as represented principally by the Ham
burg American and Hartman inter
whereby tho foreign companies
IN question provide and own the bulk
Of the fleet operated, giving the Ger
man shareholders the option OF replae-
ing these vessels by their own as sooa
as they arc able 10 do so.
The proportion OF total bnAIcs per-
mitted 70 pass 10 foreign hands un-
der this scheme Is likewise limited.
That explains the action Of the minis
Try, which regards the further buying
up OF German shipping shares on tho
Boe. Sc as contrary 10 the purposes
envisaged IN this scheme.
In a semi Official statement Germany
denies the assertion made In the Cham
Der Of Deputies by the French Minister

gram for the extension Of her internal
waterways az an expense OF 4OOO'ogV',

that Germany be compelled 10 hand

New-York tribune., 1922-12-04

In an effort to overcome the handl-
caps resulting from the war, German
steamship lines and tho great manu-
featuring enterprises Of the country
are forming close associations for mu-
tual advantage. They expect from this
movement q reduction in overhead ex-
penses and the trar portation Of a
greater volume Of goods at lower rates.
The development has reached such pro-
portions that II Is causing serious con-
Germ among the steamship companies
Of other maritime countries.
In the period before the war the Ger
man lines prided themselves upon their
independence Of industrial enterprises
ashore, though they obtained privileges
from the government which gave them
distinct benefits In competing with for
eign lines. This gave way, shortly be-
fore the war, 20 trend toward conccn-
tration nlonog the lines Of the trusts
in the United States. Tho larger COM
panies formed agreements 20 elimi-
nate competition and define spheres Of
influence.
An extension Of this idea IS now
under way. Not only arc the shipping
lines themselves working under mutual
arrangements, but they are establish
ing connections with The steel and
other industries which arc expected 20
strengthen both interests IN world
competition. Before 1919 the large
steel concerns began 20 take a fnan-
cial interest in the shipyards. At pres
ent they are becoming affiliated,
through stock ownership Of interlock-
ing directorates, with the principal
navigation companies.
Some interesting details as 70 the
latest developments Of this close asso-
citation between the steel producers
the so-called ~heavy" industry-and
shipping and shipbuilding are given by
a writer in the "Danziger Zeitung.n
Taking shipbuilding first, he mentions
the following combinations: The Phn-
nix Aktien- -Gesellschaft fuer Bergau
und Huttenbetrieb Is financially inter
ested in the Reiherstieg Werft Of Ham
burg; the Arenbergaeh Bergwerks- Go
sellBchaft, In the Jansen & Schmilin-
sky shipyard; SHINES IN the Nordsec-
werke, Emden; Herr Stumm In the
Frerichs VERT, at Einswarden; Thys-
sen In the Bremen Vulkan and the
Flensburger Schlhbau Gesellschaft, the
Funke Lothringcn Hensehel-Kon-
zern, in the Henry Kock yard at Lu-
beck, and the Otto-W crft at Hamburg,
and the Allgemeine Elektrizitats &C.
Eellsebaft, IN the Dautsehe Werft at
Hamburg. Tie association Of Krupps
with the Germania yard at Klel Is OF
much older date. The reason
for the participation Of the
heavy industry IN shipbuilding Is per-
fectly clear; the producers desire 90
have a steady customer for their goods,
while, on the other hand, the ship
builders are always assured Of deliy-
cries Of materials.
Equally clear are the reasons for the
penetration OF the heavy industry into

LONDON, Dec. 3.-That a fair mum.
Der of tramp steamer contracts are
now being placed, mostly on the north
east coast, is the most encouraging
feature Of the situation from the point
Of view OF British shipbuilders. The
placing Of additional orders, however,
does not mean that any considerable
trade revival is foresecn. There are a
few big yards, such as Harland &
Wolf-whieh just launched its second
large twin-screw steamer for the Hol-
land-America Line-that arc actually
able TO report more men on their pay
rolls than before the war, but this Is
not at all the general experience.
That owners Of cargo fleets arc now
seriously considering the question Of
ordering new vessels Is due to their
recognition that while costs are not
likely 20 fall lower there is O consider
able percentage Of vessels now laid up
which can never be employed again
profitably. Postwar conditions demand
a type that can be operated as econom-
ically a. possible, and a great deal OF
the tonnage that has been launched
since the armistice does not come UP 70
tha schedule. Some authorities frankly
hold the opinion that the companies
would be well advised TO scrap imme-
diately all vessels Of an uneconomical
type.
New cargo vessels were recently
quoted as low as $40 a ton, but ship
ping papers hero point out that this
reduction In costs is only possible, due
20 the builders being content with the
smallest margin o. profit or even none
az all
That British builders are still suf-
fering severely from foreign competl-
uon Is shown by the news from Tyne,
where II was hoped that the work Of
repairing the American steamer
Quaker City, then lying at Leith, would
be done. Thirty-two British firms sub
mitted offers, some Of these making
no allowance for profit. but the United
States Shipping Board found tho ten
der from Rotterdam lower than any
others.
Plans Of the Canadian government
for selected immigration, with prefer
enco for British subjects, Is welcomed
here by transportation companies,
which are feeling the pinch Of the
United States restrictions on immigra-
Hon.
Another development IN trans-Atlan-
tle trafhe is expected from the confer
cnc0 between the governments con-
cerned looking toward q subsidized
cargo service between England and the
West Indies.

German SteamshipLines Joining
Great Industrial Combinations

shipping, according 10 a British writer.
The navigation companies arc inter
ested In certain shipyards, which IN
their turn are, as already indicated,
closely associated with the steel pro-
ducera In tho second place, IL Is the
object Of the heavy industry 20 secure
an influence with the shipping COM
panies so that they can exercise n eer-
tain amount OF control over freight
rates for the Import Of their raw ma
teriAls and the export OF their finished
products. The shipowners, on the
other hand, secure a steady supply OF
cargo. The most important example
Of the participation OF the heavy in
dustry IN shipping was the former as
soeiatlon OF the Hamburg American
Line with Herr Hugo SHINES. When,
however, SHINES started 10 run his
own chipping lines to South America
without first consulting the Hamburg
American Line the latter decided to
dissolve the connection. This has been
done, but neither company eompetes
very seriously with It's rival; each re-
spccts the strength Of tho other.
The place OF SHINES as the indus
trial associate Of the Hamburg-American
Line has been taken by the Rhenish
magnate Haniel, the leading spirit in
the Cute Hodnungshuette, and through
him tho Allegemeine Elektrizitas Gesell-
schaft is brought into connection with
the "Hapag." Il was recently announced
that tho Phoenix Aktien-Gesellschaft,
already mentioned as being associated
with shipbuilding (Reiherstieg yard,
HamburR) had secured foothold in
the shipowning business, the center OF
its interest being Bremen. This trans
action affords a curious example OF the
manner in'whieh the system Of "inter-
locking direetorships" is carried on In
Germany. On tho death OF the Berlin
banker Herzfeld, a parcel Of shares
which he held in the Bremen Argo
Steamship Company was acquired by
Herr Otto Wolff, The head OF a big
iron exporting firm Of Cologne, aud the
organization through which the Phoe-
nix exports It's products.
This block OF shares, which carries
with IL the voting majority IN the Arg0
Company, was handed over by Wolh
TO another Bremen concern. the Roland
Line, tho majority Of whose shares
are in tho hands Of the Norddeutseher
Lloyd. Il would appear that Wolf
Was really acting on behalf Of the
Phoenix Company, Of which he is ono
Of the directors, for II was subse-
quently announced that two members
Of tho board Of the Phoenix group
would become directors Of tho Roland
Line, while Otto Wolf himself would
join the board Of the Norddeutseher
Lloyd.
This participation Of. the German
"heaYy" Industry In the shipping busi.
ness is said 10 be only a part Of the
process Of which the object is 20 trans
form practically the whole OF Ger
msny's economic lifo into a gigantic
"trust," In which eventually the pro-
dueeTs Of the raw materials, the manu-
faeturers, shipbuilders and shipowncrs
will be welded together IN one vast
community Of interests.
