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.
