Take Over German Routes !
"Washington, March 13.?A plan un- .
der which American steamship com- 1
panies would take over and operate
with American ships the sixty prewar
world trade routes of the Hamburg-American
line is being worked j
out by the shipping board, subject, it <
is understood, to the approval of the 1
German company. _
The proposal was approved today (
by the Senate commerce committee, (
ten to fourteen, after Chairman Payne ?
pxnlained it in executive ses-|j
sion. s
There was an apparent difference of I
opinion among committee members as
to the exact plans of the board, but
both Chairman Jones and Mr. Payne i
in subsequent statements said the <
board would not be a party to the 1
proposed arrangements with the Ham- <
burg-American lines; that its part i
merely would be to furnish the ships, (
either through sale or lease, and to <
lend its cooperation in obtaining this i
business for American shipping in- l
terests. 1
Co-operative Arrangement. t
Whether the plan originated with <
the Gorman company or with the <
board was not made clear. It was 1
said, however, that any arrangement ]
made would be a co-operative one <
