Wr.-hington. ? President Wilson's latemcnt to the Senate disclosing hat he had entered into a tentativv igreement at Paris, whereby the jnited States would pay to the repirations commission the difference retween the nation's merchant tonuige loss during the war and the ap rraised value of seized German ships jave a new angle to the informal liscussion in Congie. s of the ship rontrovcray, precipitated by the recent efforts of the shipping h ard to lispose of the fleet of former Gernan passenger liners. Existence of the agreement, noi Ir.therto made public was disc.1 os??i by the President in a commanicati n flatly denying that he had entered into any agreement or understanding with the British officials concerning the disposition of the seized ships. The statement was sent to the senate in veply to a resolution by Senator B" andegee, Republican, Conn., a:V -nr it were true that such an understanding existed. Approval of Congress. I In explaining the agreement the I r? : -l ? i- ? - 1 l icbiuuni suiica it was conditioned] upon the approval of Congress and; that in no case would the title of the ships %ield by this country pass from k t*he United States. It simply provided, he explained that all nations xvho came into possession of ships through seizure should after indemnifying themselves against nterchant tonnage losses during the v/ar put into the common pool the difference between their losses and the value of the ships, provided of course the ships so held exceeded the losses. This pool was to be applied to the German reparations fund by the commission created by the peace treaty. While all negotiations for the sale of the passenger ships have been called off Chairman Payne, of the shipping board was going ahead with plans for the sale of the former German cargo vessels. Bids have been invited by the hoard on 35 fi eight carriers, Chairman Payne holding the view that neither the court injuncti >n granted Wi l?am Randolph Hearst of the action of the senate commerce committee in opposing the sale of the passenger liners apply to the disposition by sale of the freighters. I Washington. ? Associate Justice Bailey, of the District supreme court fixed at $10,000 the bond to be given by William Randolph Hearst in lis injunction proceedings against the Shipping Board to prevent th.sale of the 50 former German hners. Counsel for the board said the government's only expense in connec:ion with the sale was $30.28 for nrculars sent to shipping interests. At the request of government counsel Justice Bailey deferred signng the original injunction until ruendfiy #o counsel might confer over he terms. The justice also reserved Incision on a request of the board hat th* fSewanee, which has been! .old tor $? 000,000 be excluded from he or<ler gf injunction. ? ?O ?
