XE-W YORK. Nov. 19. Pre-ent
and former "high officials" of the
United States Shipping Board will
be asked to testify before the
Walsh j congressional committee
investigating the board's affairs,
it was indicated today.
William Denman of San Fran
cisco.' who was the first president
of the emergency fleet corpora
tion, and the first active head of
the shipping board, and around
whom much of the "wooden ship"
controversy of 1917 centered, ap
peared today and .Volunteered to
testify. ' He was informed by
Chairman Walsh that the commit
tee expected to bear all of he of
ficials. Denman was told the
committee would hear him before
he returned to the Pacific coast.
Following the Thanksgiving holi
days, the committee expects to go
to Washington for the opening; of
congress.
Allegations that foreign inter
ests, and men who 4had always
been opposed to the upbuilding of
an American merchant marine,"
had .worked their ! way into
subordinate positions with the
shipping board with the intention
of helping foreign competition.
were made by Edgar F. Lucken
bach, a Bhip owner, and operator.
He said that among , the alleged
'"favored" firms in allocation of
ships were subjects of Great
Britain. He testified he did not
include in this Indictment any of
the board officials, and he added
there were others besides himself
who "felt" that foreign interests
were favored.
He charged the Kerr'Steamship
company of New York had been
allowed to make "three free trips"
that Is exempt from : charter
hire, with vessels the firm
purchased from Austrians after
this country entered the war.
! Mr. Kerr and Mr. Clegg, Kerr's
associate, he said, were then
British subjects. When these free
trips were granted,! he asserted,
freights were the highest in the
world's history..
. Discrimination in allocations,
he charged, dated back to the
time this country commandeered
the Dutch ships in American
waters. "Some of these ships."
he said, "were allocated to British
shipping firms while American
operators 'stood by. "
j Alleged discrimination In allo
cation bad put his firm out of the
Australian trade a trade which
he had spent thousands of dollars
to build up, he asserted. He tiid
he was given but one ship for
Australia, while "Welding Ring.
who had not a single dollar in
vested in American shipping, was
allocated 17 boats for the Austral
Ian seryice."

"The agreement begins by
recording that the four groups

of their respective governments
and the preamble indicating the
attitude of the consortium towards
China records that 'the national

interests of the Chinese people,

COAST RATE
WAR LOOMS
American Merchant Marine
is Threatened by Under
bidding of Japanese
PORTLAND. Ore., Nov. 19.
The fiercest rate war in. the
history of shipping is looming on
the Pacific and assuming the pro
portions of a national issue, ac
cording to A. F. Haines, vice pres-
dent and general manager of the
'acific Steamship company, here
tonight. Mr. Haines Is on bis way
to Seattle where, he said, the
question of economic peace or war
will be determined at a meeting
tomorrow of the Pacific West
Bound conference.
The act wnich threatens to pre
cipitate the rate war is the recent
withdrawal from the conference
of Mitsui and company, one of the
strongest of the Japanese line,
and the Blue Funnel line, operat-
ng In the trans-Pacific trade un
der the British-flag.-Mr." Hafn
said.
While the conference rate on
lumber from North Pacific ports
to the Orient is 117. 50. the Jap
anese are offering to carry the
umber for $12. Mr. Haines said
In face of a conference rate of $10
a ton on flour, the Blue Funnel
has announced a rate of $7. ac-
cording to the Admiral line man
ager. Canadian linen nave also
suggested a rate of $7. he said, to
enable Canadian flour to under
sell the American product in the
Orient.
"The question." said Mr.
Haines, "calls for-a decision as to
whether we are to tie up our boats
and allow the foreigners to carry
all our freight. It is a national is-
sue in that our decision in this
matter js a decision on whether
we will have an American merch
ant marine.
"Either all competitive lines
must be in the conference and
must quote the same rates, or we
shall have war to the knife. We
must bring the foreign lines to our
terms or must meet theirs. If the
British and Japanese lines are al
lowed to underquote us in the
trans-Pacific trade, they will get
all' the business, just as the
British merchant fleet is beginning-
to move all the grain from
the Columbia river to Europe."

This office baa corresponded
with the leading residents, both
men and women, bat no one has
a r reed to aid in soliciting th
community la question. To In
sure prompt delivery, registered
letters were nt the city offic

letters were seat, three have re

name solicitors, and another ac
companied a check for SI by a
sarcastic tirade. The third en
deavored to eo-oprae bv sending

For the first time the

The views of labor were pre

of the British delegation, who
gained applaase wbeti he declared
that-"a general peace fa Impos

Twiee agaia the admission of

that sentiment favorably to bar

Admission) May be fW poased.
It la now generar.y considered
that the question lie entirely
with a committee, as delegate
who hesitate to propose Ger
nanny's admission from th floor
of th assembly are quit free
in bringing up th disrussloa la
committee.
Opinion is afcont equally di
vided between the probability of
postponing admission of all for
mer eaemy states natil th next
meet lag of the assembly, and th
admission ot all ef them wit tk
exception of Turkey daring th
present session.
Ueewnamy Uke Protest.
A protest by German r aralnst

mandates for her colonies todar
created a marked Imnression in
the assembly, particularly as it
was addreesed to the assembly.
tnatead of th eooacil. Germ ay
consistently has maintained the
attitude that the. council doe not
pcse sufficient authority to
deal with suth qnestloas, sine
a majority of it representative
form a group of former belliger
ent aad that the assembly alone
is representative of th enUr
leacne rd therefore competent
to deal with the question.
Golsuipp Motta. president of
Switzerland and head of the Swiss
delegation, la a speech today,
held that the council and th
assembly were two separate aad
Independent organs, and it U
probable that the eommJtte on
