MOST CARGoES CARRIED
BY FOREIGN VESSELS
Commerce Department Finds Amer
lean Ships Largely Ignored in
South American Trade.

Bulk of the cargoes between this
country and the east coast of South
America is now being carried in for
eign vessels and the proportion is in
creasing although American ships are
making a better showing on the
routes to and from the west coast of
that continent, according to survey
issued by the Department Of Commerce.
During the first ten months of 1921,
the survey said, trade with the east
coast of South America constituted
about 5 per cent of the total foreign
trade of this country, exports being
twice as large as imports.
In the case Of the north and south
Atlantic coast traffic. IL per cent was
carried by foreign Ships, while trade
between the gulf coast ports and the
east coast of South America was di-
vided between American and foreign
ships on 81 and 63 per cent, basis,
respectively. The small amount of
cargo moving between Pacific coast
ports and the east acoast of South
America. the survey added, was all
carried in American Vessels.
American ships, according to the de-
partment, are carrying 81 per cent OF
the cargo between the Atlantic coast
and the, west coast of South America.
50 per cent. for the American gulf
coast and 54 per cent, for the Pacific
coast. For the first ten months OF
1921 the total volume of trade be-
tween this country and the west coast
of South America amounted to about
a million long tons, less than per
cent of the. total imports and exports
of this country. -

Providing Investigation of
Gradings.

The resolution of Senator Robinson
Of Arkansas, providing for the ap-
pointment of a special committee Of
five senators from the Senate COM
mittee on civil service to investigate

Senator Robinson asked for its
immediate consideration, but Senator

way.
The measure specifically instructs
the committee to look into the charge
of manipulation of the gradings Of
competitors in civil service examina-
lions, to ascertain what, If any,
political influence was used to have
the grades changed and also as to
whether the act of Congress proV1d-
ing for preference being given to eX-
service men are being executed.
The committee is to make it's investi-
CATION and report it's finding within
ninety days according to the provision
OF the resolution.
