FOUR PORTS SEEKING
AMERICAN SHIP LINE
New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Boston Seek Service in
Reallocation Hearing.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Baltimore as the closest port to the
South American market for the Mid
die West and the need of New Eng
land industry for an economic outlet
through the development of Boston
as harbor, were described yesterday
by representatives of those two cities
at a hearing before the Shipping
Board on the reallocation of the oper-
ating port of the American Republics
Line. The line, which operates freight
ships to South America, at present
has it's base in New York, but re-
quests for its reallocation have been
received by the board from other
cities.
Philadelphia also is being proposed
as the lines port, while representa-
tives of New York are seeking that
ports retention in the hearings.
While Senator Bruce and Senator
elect Tydings of Maryland and men,
bers of the House from that State
spoke in favor of Baltimore's selec-
ton, Representatives Edith n. Rogers
and Luce of Massachusetts advocated
the greater benefit to New England
if Boston was named the lines port.
That Baltimore was the most inn
portant single factor in the develop
ment of South American trade was
claimed by J. Carey MARITIME, presi-
dent of the Baltimore Association OF
Commerce, while G. II. Pouder, di-
rector of the associations import and
export bureau, said the Baltimore in
dustries produce products which were
in demand in South America.
1T is not only selfish interest that
urges us to develop Baltimore ship
ping" Pouder declared, but a feel
ing that the port benefits the entire
West"
The Boston delegation in its presen'
tation of claims asserted that the cost
of shipping from New York, because
of the congestion at that port, was 10
per cent greater than from Boston.
