Ex-senator Chamberlain De-
cIares Dollar Interests Want
Monopoly in Pacific.

Charges that "R. Stanley Dollar
and associates" and Herbert FIeisch-
hacker. a banker of San Francisco,
were seeking a monopoly Of Ameri-
can shipping in the Pacific Ocean,
and that the Dollar bid for the five
Government passenger steamers. now
operated by the Pacific Mail, from
San Francisco to the Orient is a
part thereof, were made by former
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, who
appeared yesterday before the Ship
ping Board in the interest of the bid
submitted by the Pacific Mail for
these ships. ~
Ex-senator Chamberlain also re-
piled to the opinion, of counsel for
the Shipping Board. which, question
ed the legality of the Pacific Mails
bid. That bid provides for the ac-
sceptance by the Government OF pre-
ferred stock as well as cash in a
new Goyernment-controlled corpora
tfon in exchange, for its ships.
Chamberlain declared that he had
been "a member of the scomme rec
committee which drew the Jones act
and that it was 1.-The purpose of Con-
greSs to. give the. board power to
bring about establishment of perma

tended that the board not only had
power to, consider the Pacific Mail
bid which that company stood ready
to negotiate into a form, meeting the
boards requirements, but that the
board could not meet public: criticism
If on the plea of a close construction
of the law it rejected IBID which
was $1,125,000 higher than the Dol

much longer period and included a
plan whereby all earnings would be
devoted to the purpose of building
rev ships and paying off the stock
or bond interest of the Government

The Pacific Mail submitted ean
adaptation of its bid to meet certain
objections which had been raised.

charged that there was on foot plan
to bring about a monopoly of all

said that several years ago a. dinner

members of the board attended and
at which was discussed the formation
of a $30,000,000 corporation to take
over all the Governments tonnage in

POWERS OF PACIFIC
Australian Premier Holds
This Is Best Guarantee of
World Harmony.
BY the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associa ted Press.
ADELAIDE, Australia, March Is
Premier Bruce of Australia believes
that ''in the peace of the Pacific there
lies the best guarantee of the future
of the world and that by friendship
between Australia and the United
States much can be done for the
peace of the Pacific.
Mr. Bruce made this view known in
the. course of his speech at Koorinsa,
in the Burra mining section, in which
he referred to the Forthcoming visit
of an American fleet to Australia.
+ The United States on their side of
the Pacific and We on our side" the
premier said, are standing for the
same ideals and the same traditions,
and We are facing very similar prob
lens. although in vastly different
circumstanc
Limit Arms.
Both in America and here there is
the one desire for the maintenance
of the worlds peace, and the common
aim to limit. the burden of arma-
ments, whether on land or sea or
in the air, to the most restricted di-
mensionS commensurate with national
safety. Cooperation between the
great navies of the United States and
Great Britain is particularly to be
sought in that ocean, which more
closely affects us, and there are indi-
cations that the paramount impor-
| tance of the Pacific is becoming more
widely recognized in other parts of
the empire. That recognition the
visit of the American feet will hasten
to- deepen.
Il would like to express the hope"
Mr.. Bruce continued. that the visit
of the American fleet will strengthen
the ties of friendship with Australia
that already exist"

Another resolution advised Havre
that the association desires that no

assembl ed. 1t was said cotton was
weighed in Havre bale, by bale as it
came from the ship while some, it it
was exceedingly bone dry. The as
sociation adopted a resolution declar-
ing that 1T shall be unlawful for any
member of the association to sell cot :
ton subject to- claim for internal

to have lost heavily because of
European claims for such dampness.
