GERMAN SHIPS
GAINING EDGE

Collections in Gold and Produc.
ton Payments in Marks
Making Owners.
BY cosmopolitan News Service.

Collecting in gold and sterling,
but paying in paper marks, has
placed the German merchant marine
in a practically impregnable posi-
ton, so far as other merchant
marines of the world may compete
with her. Only the limitations of
German tonnage prevent that nation
from driving all other merchant
flags off the sea.
II. 7. Merrill, director Of the
bureau of research, United States
Shipping Board. made this declara-
ton today in statement in favor
Of ''the limited amount of direct aid
or subsidy proposed in the pending
merchant marine BILL
I'm competition with all maritime
nations the differential in exchange
must be reckoned with as a part of
the problem of keeping the Ameri-
can merchant flag on the ocean,"
Merrill said.
Merrill asserted the Hamburg
American line and the North Ger
man Lloyd will redeem outstanding
bonds, valued in gold at about
$4,000. 900, with paper marks re-
quiring an outlay of about $50, 900.
"As the revenue of steamship
companies are upon a gold basis"
said Merrill. this $4,000 represents
about the gross earnings of single
freight ship upon a single voyage.
even under present conditions. Yet
these companies are enabled to seize
upon the present nominal value of
the mark as a means to wipe out
their bonded Indebtedness.
Revenues About Equal.
This affords good example of
the difficulties confronting an Ameri-
concern engaged in competition in
international markets with German
concerns. In both cases the reve-
ntles are. the same in dollars. But
in the case of the Germans the ex-
are largely payable in deprecated
paper currency.
I'm shipping this applies not only
to interest and amortization of Ger

but also to wages paid to the crews
and the shore staffs of vessels.
THE American shipping concern.
10 obliged from the same amount of
revenue to meet its capital pay
ments and to pay wages to its crews
on the gold standard. The German
steamship company, therefore, has,
not only the advantage that it's
crews would normally receive less
than American crews were the mark
ut par, but in addition it has the
power of exchanging part of its
gold freights for sufficient paper
marks to practically repudiate it's
bonded Indebtedness an almost in.
finitesimal part of the company's
revenue in dollars can be exchanged
for enough paper currency to pay
wages and get amortization and in
terest charges.
Competition Growing.
1.-THE opponents of the proposed
subsidy before the Congressional
committee refused to concede that
exchange differentials were real

how great our disadvantage be-
comes.
