KILLS 8 SHIP BIDS
Tampa Firm Offer for Four
Approved at Average of
$1,815,6OO Apiece.

BY the Associated Press.
The Maritime Commission rejected
yesterday bids for. the construction of
eight of the IL standard steel cargo
vessels on which proposals were opened
February /.
1t has'approved the bid of the Tampa
Shipbuilding g. Engineering Co. of
Tampa, Fla, for construction Of the
remaining four.
The commission announced it would
open new bids on the eight vessels,
together with bids on four other new
ones of the same type, on May 3,
making total of IL ships to be bid
on that day. Bids on four ships for
the American Export Lines will be
opened May IT. In all, the commits
sion is asking bids on l6 ships during
May
Commission officials denied a report
the Tampa company bid had been
rejected and said on the contrary it
was expected the contract would be
awarded shortly The commission
said the contract was being held in
allegiance until the company makes
financial arrangements satisfactory to
the commission to insure completion
OF the ships"
Chairman Emory S. Land said bids
on 8 OF the II vessels on which pro-
posals were opened February ! were
too high for ships, to be operated
successfully.
Bid S1,8l5.663 Apiece.
The Tampa Co. lowest bidder of the
eight firms which submitted proposals
on the II vessels. bid $7,262,652 or
81 .8l5.663 apiece for each of the four.
The commission approved these prices
as failing within the range Of its own
estimates of what the ships should
cost Other bids were as much as
68 per cent higher.
Mr.. Land said for the last several
weeks the commission had sought
through negotiation ito induce other
bidders to reduce their prices in line
with the commissions estimates so
that contracts could be awarded for
all Of the II vessels

problem from the standpoint of the
prudent business man described in
the Merchant Marine Act in an effort
to avoid readvertising for bids, and
also to find a way of obtaining more
reasonable bids in the future" he
said 1t is obvious that ships built
at the prices quoted could not be
operated successfully as a commercial
proposition.
Builders C0-Operated.
The shipbuilders gave us excellent
cooperation Our negotiations resulted
in materially lowering the prices bid
and while notifications and conces-
sions were made in the matter of
specifications they were not such as
to impair the overall efficiency of the
design Of the vessel
From the progress that was made
it was apparent that these negotia-
tions. which are of the type commonly
encountered in private business trans
actions, would have produced salts
| factory results, and in contracts could
have been awarded for the other eight
vessels. but in surveying the legal
phases of the matter it was decided
| that the clauses of the act, as we'll
as other statutes governing competitive
! bidding on Government contracts,
made the contemplated procedure
! doubtful from legal standpoint.

cable" reduction in railroad labor
wages and loans from the R. F. C.
without regard to I. c. c. restrictions
George M. Harrison, president OF
the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks,
advised the President the railroad
unions would vigorously oppose anv
reduction in wages He also opposed
compulsory consolidation of roads on
the ground it would throw thousands
OF workers out of their Jobs.
Asserting that the carriers diff
culties arose primarily from lack CT
credit and insufficient volume of traf-
f1c. Mr.. Harrison suggested this prob
lem could be effectively solved by the
Federal Government guaranteeing TO
the railroads for a period of three
years certain amount of net railway
operating income, based on some fair
test period. ="
Solution Up to Congress.
The White House message leaves
the difficulties of the carriers in status
quo and puts up to Congress the So
luton of the problems of the industry
which progressively have grown more
complex since the middle of the past
year when traffic started its downward
plunge-a drop that eliminated in
February in the railroads finishing in
the red" for the first time since 1921.
Some relief was afforded in Novem-
ber when the Interstate Commerce
Commission granted freight rate ad-
vances on heavy commodities designed
to net about s5o0O0,OOO, but this fell
far short of needs and the roads asked
a blanket increase of Is per cent. In
a decision last month, this horizontal
boost was denied, but certain gradu-
ated increases were allowed. These
the railroads figured would net ap-
proximately SITS 100000, or about So
per cent on the basis of 1886 traffic.

because of the discord which their dis
cussion created, or because the subjects
were too comprehensive or too imprac-
tical of fulfillment.
Because of the nature of many topics
discussed tendency has arisen to as
sign the consideration of numerous ques-
tions and problems to special confer
ences which meet in the interims be-
tween the general conferences. These
special all-American congresses have dis
cussed such subjects as railways, high
ways, commerce, finance, agriculture,
sanitation, public health, child welfare,
women's rights, Red Cross activities,
intellectual cooperation Cor moral dis
armament as it has come to be called,
international law, arbitration, etc. This
expansion, and at the same time con-
centration and specialization of confer
ence TOPICS has perhaps been the most
healthy sign of growth and development
in the whole history of the pan-Ameri-
can movement. Such meeting was the
Conference for the Maintenance of Peace
held at Buenos Aires in December, 1896.
In these special meetings, as in the
general conferences, the close associa-
ton of the delegates in social and in
tel1ectual intercourse has proven OF
immeasurable value in increasing the
friendliness and understanding between
the American nations. Certainly for
these reasons, If for no others, the regu-
lar convention Of Pan-American con-
Yerences u more than justified.

In our exports to Latin America as

Delegates of the Pan-American states
may be expected to discuss. at least
among themselves, the reports from
Europe that Britain and France are con-
sidering granting Germany some colonies
in West Africa. Interest centers in the
fact that holding on the western bulge
of Africa would give Germany base
less than 1000 miles away from South
America-closer than the United States.
Out OF these discussions may crystalize
new conception of the Monroe Doctrine
which would make it Pan-American. In
stead of the United States alone assum-
ing the task of preventing foreign ma
tions from taking territory in Latin
America, all the nations Of the Western
Hemisphere might join for this purpose.
Pan American delegations. having all
this in mind, will seek to arrive at new
code for the preservation Of peace in the

It is in recognition of the possibilities
that the noted war ace thus paints that
the government is making anti-aircraft
guns so prominent feature of its COM
ing program. In addition, batteries OF
heavy long grange cannon are to be
placed on both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts at strategic points which will DOM
mate the entire sealine. And the Island
of Anticosti is to be made the Gibraltar

trance of Canada via that route.
While the Dominion's scheme OF

its details, considerable uncertainty pre-
walls in governmental circles over the
question as to whether the heavy arma-

be carried out by private contract or in

Discussion of the American doctrine
OF not recognizing territory acquired by
force may assume great importance not
only in the Western Hemisphere but in
other parts of the world as well.
This might have bearing on United
States policy in three sectors OF the
world. Japan has acquired through force
huge portions of China. Italy has set up
an empire in Ethiopia. And Germany
mas taken over segment of Czechoslo-
vakia, not by force. but with the threat
Of force by virtue of Hitlers ultlmatum.
At the Montevideo Conference, the
United States and II other states ratified
a convention that they would not recog-
nlze territorial acquisitions or special
advantages which have been obtained by
force whether this consists in the en-
plovment of arms, in threatening dlplo-
matte representatives, or in any other
effective coercive measure"
Great Britain and France have recog-
nized Italy's conquest OF Ethiopia. Ger
MANY end Italy have recognized Japans
puppet state, Manchukuo. The United
States has recognized neither. There
seems every likelihood that Secretary
Hull will continue this course Of action
