Mori M f rt n vims SUITS WITH EXTRA PANTS $25.00 Large Range of Patterns for SUITS and TOPCOATS Germans Suggest Scrap Iron Cure For Shipping Ills HAMBURG, Germany VP) The world-wide economic crisis has a stranglehold on Germany's merchant marine. In an effort to cure the paralysis of the merchant fleet and to provide some relief of unemployment, the government proposes to convert thousands of tons of seaworthy ship ping Into scrap iron. Insolvency among the ranks of smaller shipping companies Increases every day and vessels totaling more than 600,000 tons lie Idle In this harbor alone. Most of the 90 German trap steam er companies are suffering greatly from the business stagnation. High tariff barriers of various countries settled the fate ' of the German freight fleet, representing almost 700,000 tons out of a total capacity of 4,200.000 tons. Shipowners petitioned the govern ment to extend a long-term credit. The authorities declined on ' the ground that credits do not Insure recovery, , It is the ministry of transporta tion's plan to prevent the sale of a part of this lald-up tonnage which, they fear, would otherwise, . under some foreign flag, appear as com petitors of what remains of tho Ger man merchant marine. So the ministry advocates the scrapping of at least 120,000 tons of shipping. A "scrapping premium" ol 16 to (7 o ton Is to be paid to tne owners.
