OFFER SHIPS
FOR WESTERN
FRUIT TRADE
R~efrigerating Vessels
Expected to Handle
Large Volume of Flu
ture Shipments

WASHINGTON, ID. G.. July 2I.-
Opportunity for shipping interests
on the Pacific coast to establish a
lire of American flag vessels plying
to parts Of the United Kingdom and
continental Europe for handling pri-
marily Pacific coast fruits, Is af-
forded by the shipping board in Of
fering for sale the American Mer-
chant Lines together with the Unit
ed States Lines. IL was stated orally,
July 5, by Commissioner Samuel 5.
Sandberg.
Pointing out that sentiment for
the establishment Of such a service
has long been considered on the Pa
cific coast, to obviate tl.s need Of
transporting citrus and other fruits
on foreign ships, Commissioner
Sandberg said that the five "B"
boats, or combination passenger car
20 ships Of the American Merchant
Lines are ideal for such a service.
Recently, he said, n plan was pro-
jected by Pacific coast bankers to
set up a line Of refrigerator ships
with passenger accommodations.
Should Pacific coast operators
take advantage of the invitation TO
bid for these ships. the commission
err added. it would automatically
eliminate the need OF building this
new line Of ships.
There would be a tremendous
amount of business each year for
these vessels" he said, pointing out
that there also would be good pas
senger bookings from through wa
ter voyages from the Pacific,
through the Panama canal, to Eu-
rope.
I'm my opinion the boards offer is
the only proposition ever made for
refrigerator ships from the Pacific
coast to the United Kingdom and
continental European ports" he
said. There arc none on this serv-
ice today which are American flag
vessels. They are all foreign lines
Mr.. Sandberg referred to a re-
cent statement by Commissioner
Jefferson Myers. who also is a Pa
cific coast member Of the board.
At that time Mr.. Myers said the
fruit trade from the Pacific coast TO
Europe would amount to upwards Of
500, 000. 900 a year IL a line OF re-
f%rigerator ships was provided.
Substantiating this statement.
Commissioner ~Sandberg said that he
recalled one line OF foreign flag
ships that handle during the calen-
dar year 1927 more than 1000. 900
boxes Of oranges, with a market val
ue in excess Of : 5000. 900.

West and Midwest in the national cam
baiRr. The convention was told today
bv Senator Robinson that it should in
dorse the principles of farm relief de-
n1ar,ded by the farmers. He mentioned
the McNary- Haugen bill and its equali-
eaton fee principle as one of the meth
DDS by which the farmers could be
aided. He said:
THE economic equality of agriculture
with other industries may be promoted
by reducing the tariff on manufactured
articles consumed by farmers, by a
system of export debentures or by the
adoption of the principle OF the NC
Nary-Haugen bill. Such equality can
never be established by merely raising
the tariff on importations of products
where grown in substantial surplus
above domestic requirements.
This convention should invite slp-
port from farmers by declaring adher-
ence to these principles.

vention to boast a prosperity evidenced

chairman. His declaration that privilege

rocket and the farmer given a square
deal reused the convention to its
greatest heights of enthusiasm. His
speech was halted for a quarter OF an
hour, while the delegates, led by North
Dakota, paraded around the hall.
The Republican black horse cavalry
of privilege and pillage was pictured
as cantering up and down PennSyl-
vania avenue by Mr.. Bowers In his
keynote speech.
A blistering arraignment of the G..
O. p. and its administration was
coupled with a demand that the Demo-
Gratis get back to the principles and
issues of jefferson, Jackson and Wilson.
Filled with epigrams attacking the
Republicans and extolling the Demo-
Gratis. the speech was barrage of high
explosives. and. the eloquent document
brought the Democratic hosts roaring
to their feet time and again as the

Auto Men Complain OF Freight
Rates.

With all nineteen members present. the
Montgomery County Automobile Dealers
Association on Thursday night of last
week held its March meeting at the Mont
somery Country Club here and reelected
all officers. as follows: President, H. B.
Hendricks, of Takoma Park; vice-presi-
dent, F. Hazen Cashell, of Rockville; Sec
rotary treasurer, Donald A. DeLashmutt
of Rockville.
A suggestion that Rockville and other
places in this county are Disseminated
against in the matter Of freight rates on
automobiles from Detroit and manufactur-
ing cities precipitated lively discussion.
1t was stated that the rates from Detroit
to Rockville and Washington are identical,
notwithstanding that the county seat Is
IS miles nearer to the Michigan city. and
1t was further declared that Rockville is
further Disseminated against in that the
railway company unloads machines and
accessories consigned to Washington deal
ers, whereas Montgomery county dealers
are required to do their own unloading.
A committee was named to look into the
matter.
The requirement that all application
cards for auto license tags. in order to
show that taxes have been paid, be perfo-
rated by the county treasurer before tags
are obtainable from the State Motor Vehl-
Gle Commissioner, was considered. The
practice was characterized as useless and
as putting the auto dealers to much incon-
venience. The matter was referred to a
committee.
