The American State Department

discriminatory" British treatment
of American ships in the Mediter-
ranean.
1t is disclosed the United States
questions the legality of Great Brl-
tain's interference with cargoes
moving between neutral nations.
Great Britain is accused of de-
tanning American ships at Gibraltar
IL to IA days or more than three
times as long as Italian ships are
held for investigation of cargoes.
The British Contraband Control
spokesman in London, speaking for
the British Ministry of Economic
Warfare, attributes the delay in
American shipping to reluctance
of shippers to furnish in advance
any information concerning cargoes

while IS miles off the east coast
of Japan.

the Germans to the authority OF

tests the right of the British war

take the German ~seamen off with
the purpose of interning them, pre-
sumably at Hongkong.

PLANS FOR GREAT Big
SHIP CAUSING SPECULATION;
IDEA IS TERMED NIGHTMARE
(By PRESTON GROVER,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Every
time we think of $1,000 or 10000
tons of Yankee battleship shoulder
ing its way into Chesapeake Bay
or through the Golden Gate we
shiver. There amt no such animal.
But the Navy apparently doesn't
shiver, There isn't any official word
on the thing, but somehow you get
a feeling that the idea of a super
colossal stupendouS boat like that
doesn't awe the Navy To them it
is sort of dream boat, like the
dreams one has of returning to
ones home town in a car so long
it has to be backed twice to turn
the corner into Main Street.
You might suspect that even Sec
rotary of the Navy Edison has
dreamed such a dream. He remarked
at a press conference in sort Of
incoming undertone that ship
which contained all the features of
which the Navy dreams would be
something bigger even than the SUI
per-collosal 5,O0O-tonners now being
planned.
There is evidence, also, that the
Navy may have even more magni-
ficent ideas in mind The old Pan
anna Canal-the one we have now
will handle an 80,000-tonner. 1t
would be a tight fit with not more
than two feet to spare along the
sides. The new canal which the
War Department engineers are
building for the Navy to use will
be big enough even for a fairly
matronly, full busted 10000

a hustle.
