ALL COMPANIES INVOLVED Small Firm Anxious as to Whether Protection, Will Be Afforded Against the Big Firms. OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Aug. 24. Admiral W. S. Benson, chairman of the shipping board, in announcing during the week what ls declared the permanent sales policy of the board for Its enormous tonnage, has developed among the operators- and shipping interests of the country some great Interrogation points. Time has not permitted any elaboration of the fixed plan promul gated, and it is certain that every seaport of the nation will be driving Hard for further information at once. Senator Jones' Merchant Marine act places in the forefront three great purposes: Develop under American ownership a real competitive mer chant marine; establish trade routes on the high seas with allocated board vessels, until title passes Into private hands; sell the war emergency fleet, ceasing government ownership, and stimulating private ownership and operation. Pioneer Company Anxlons. Admiral Benson says the board is ready to sell at the prices stated, varying somewhat according to type, age, and character of fuel consumed. Roughly, the average Is about $175 a dead weight ton. Now appears the company that has) been operating allocated ships, open ing ports and routes deemed desir able, but which were not in vogue under the American flag prior to the reriod of government ownership. This company wants to know if Its main resources may be used for four or five years to get the business es tablished, and then commence buying, or whether the dictum will be that a start at purchasing immediately must be made. Also, if steps are not taken at once to purchase by this company, and another concern offers to buy the Identical ships it is operating, will the trade route purpose of the bill be forgotten, and a sale be made to the purchase applicant. A very Important consideration for the young company it will be admitted. Who Gets the Shlpf Then' appears on the scene another company, long in operation. and either possessing a good reserve of capital or possessing a short cut to the vaults cf big Wall street bankers. This company says it wants to buy at once, and wants to select the best ships when it purchases. Suppose that Mr. Big company gets its eye upon a good ship in the fleet of the concern that is struggling through the throes of pioneer work, and which is not buying or buying in a very modest and slow way. Will the ship he sold to the new applicant, or will it be held on the new route just es tablished until the company Is stron ger? A question with the widest margin of action, it must be con ceded. Ships of the same type, from the same yard, built of the same material by the same, force, vary in efficiency and excellence. Some have been re paired or reconstructed at great cost, ' improving them immeasurably, while otners are practically as they came rrom the yards. What margin. If any, will be permitted in respect to quality and serviceability? If the announced price is accepted for the cream ui tne neet. will there be a reduction later for the Inferior ves sels, in something of a bargain sale aear: Question of Aid Raised.

PROPAGANDISTS TIP HAND Commission May Direct Movement of Traffic Over Railways, Which Hits Switch to Atlantic Ports. SALEM. Or. Aug. 24. (Special.) Senator C. L. McNary in a statement issued here today declared that he was not at all alarmed over the threat of foreign nations to divert tonnage from the Pacific ports to Atlantic or gulf ports unless the provisions of section 28 of the mer chant marine bill are repealed or rendered nugatory by the United States shipping board and the inter state commerce commission. "Foreign shipping interests have conducted interuse propaganda against various provisions of the shipping act in order to deceive shippers into active hostility to the law," said Senator McNary. I-"till Rates Compulsory. "When section 2S is employed, mer chandise moving in foreign steamers will be compelled to pay the full overland freight in addition to th ocean rates assessed by foreign steamship companies. The purpose or the section is to stimulate ship merits of cargoes in American bot toms. as merchandise moving in American steamers would be entitled to the benefit of the lowest prefer entlal rate. I "I have in my possession a state ment from the chairman of the ship ping board that section 2S will not be enforced until there is adequate American tonnage to handle all busl ness offered. Should foreign Interests set about to divert commerce from the Pacific ports on account of their opposition to section 28, the inter state commerce commission would in my opinion, immediately prevent ucu a. situation Dy invoking para graph 15. section 1 of the transporta tion act passed by congress this year. Commission's Power Far Reaching. "A careful reading- of that act will demonstrate that the commission is empowered with the widest discre tionary authority to give directions for the movement of traffic over American railway lines, and in order to prevent congestion at Atlantic and gulf ports and in order to utilize tne westbound movement of empty cars over our railroads, the commis sion would exercise the authoritv g'ranted it by congress to thwart any movement to overthrow the beneficial provisions ot tne merchant marine act. 'The very heart of the shipping law is the development and use of new ports and the establishment of new trade routes, and I have no fear that any foreign power can in any way injuriously affect our merchant marine or the splendid things it will oo ior tne commerce of America." senator McNary left here tonight on a trip into southern Oregon which will include an inspection of the Crater lake hotel and a report of his iinaings to tne secretary of the in terlor. Senator McNary goes first to Eu gene and with a delegation from the Eugene chamber of commerce will go tomorrow 10 tjrescent -Jake, where delegation from the Klamath Falls Commercial club will be added to the party. They will go to Crater lake and back to Klamath Falls inspecting timDer resources relative to a Dossi ble obtaining of federal aid for the construction of a highway from rvia.ma.in rails to (..rater lake.
