COURT DECLARES
SALE OF VESSELS TO
DOLLAR Line 0, K,

Washington, Apr. 2O-The Ship
ping Board was upheld in the Dis
trict Of Columbia supreme court to-
day in the sale to the Dollar interests
of the five vessels in the California
Orient service at present operated
out of San Francisco by the Pacific
Mail Steamship Co.
After a day Of argument devoted
to legal aspects of the sale author
izzed by majority vote of the board,
Justice Hitzz announced that he
would dissolve the temporary injunc-
ton obtained by the Pacific Mail
staying the transaction. He did not
announce the reasons for the decis-
ion but these are expected to be
made public when he signs the order
Wednesday terminating the injunc-
ton.
The Pacific Mail at once prepared
to appeal the case to the court of
appeals and indicated that papers in
this proceeding would be filed on
Wednesday. The effect will be to
continue in force the restraining or
der against completing the transact
ton. If the court of appeals sus-
tains the decision of Justice Hitz,
further appeal by the Pacific Mail to
the United States supreme court is
possible, but such step was re-
garded tonight as somewhat improb-
able.
In considering the case, the court
of appeals will go only into legal
pha SEES surrounding the sale and not
into the merits. The latter course
was urged on Justice Hitz today by
counsel for the Pacific Mail, who
asked that the governments motion
to dismiss the suit be combined with
the rule of the court asking why the
injunction should not be made per-
manent. The court decided, however,
to consider first only the motion to
dismiss.
This motion, as filed by Chaun-
cey G. Parker and o. P. M. Brown.
government counsel, contended that
the court was without jurisdiction
to review acts within the discre-
tionary authority of the Shipping
Board, that the Pacific Mail was not
an interested party to the proceed
ings and that the suit was in reality
directed against the United States.

Coolidge Praises
" ~
D. R.Carrying
on Nation S Ideals
CANDIDATE HINDY
THROWS DOUBT ON
DAWES PREPARATIONS

Hanover. Germany. April 20, (By
A. P)-Field Marshal Won linden
burg who Is seeking the vote Of the
German people in the election for the
presidency next Sunday discussed his
candidacy in an exclusive interview
with The Associated Press cores
pondent today. He made special
reference to the Dawes reparations
plan, which he declared would be
impossible of fulfillment unless Ger
many's former enemies evinced pol
itical and economic loyalty"
Whether the obligations under the
Dawes report as capable of fulfill
ment," hes aid, will become evident
only after certain time, since the
burdens imposed will steadily in
crease for years. We, of course, will
not be able to fulfill the conditions
unless the foreign powers participant
ing in the pact evince political and
economic loyalty"
When asked regarding his speech
yesterday, in which he spoke of Ger
many's desire to cooperate peacefully
in promoting the worlds progress, as
to what he considered basis for an
ide;,i security pact, Won Hindenburg
replied:
Il consider it very difficult to find
measures. of guarantee nature
which could really compel all nations
TO adopt a moral policy in state at
fairs. l should certainly be very
happy If it should come to pass in
my old age that the policies of ma
lions We're determined by sound COM
mon sense, but we are not far as
yet"
The field marshal contends that his
election would have no effect on Ger
many's international financial posi-
ton as the following questions and
answers indicate:
Question-"Would the fact that
that the Reichs bloc is mainly I'M
der the leadership of Conservative
Nationalistic circles endanger Ger
many's international financial inter-
ests in the event of the Reichs bloc's
victory at the polls?"
Answer-''To begin with, it is not
/ true that my candidacy has parti-
san political character. AS for the
rest, 1 am convinced and have posi-
tive data for my opinion, that fin
ancial world problems as they relate
to Germany have nothing whatever
to do with the election of the ma
TONS head"
To the question as to whether he
believed complete separation of the
church and state desirable. he re-
Piled:
II am a believing Christian, and
I desire that Germany's affairs shall
be conducted in Christian spirit"
The final question was: rs mon
archial state more conducive than a
Republican to advance personal dis
cipline. law and order and stable
conditions?"
To this. the field marshal re-
piled:
1T does not depend on the form
of state, but rather on there being
personalities at the head whom one
respects and who, through their au-
thority, insure order"
At the conclusion of the formal
interview Marshal Won Hindenburg's
attention was directed to state
ment in Berlin daily newspaper
that the former crown prince intend
ed to call on him and that an inn
pressive reception had been planned.
Won Hindenburg burst into hearty
laugh. and said he considered it the
best joke of the season, and fatty
denied the truth of the story.
