Postponement In Cotton Rate War Effected Telegram From Southern Operator?, Just Recci-.*?!. Requests a He-Stalemrnt of Position Taken Here Break Mav Be Averted North Atlantic line* Will Meet To-morrow in Onl?T to Review Whole Mattrr Postponement of an osea break be tsraan the Gulf and North Atlantic cot tea carrying steamship companies has baas affected, it is believed, by the re? cel?t yesterday of a tclegr.m from the Gulf operators requesting the New York tempanies It restate their poei t.oa ia the ins' Tke Gulf operators' request is taken | here to mean that the steering of re- ' latien? which threatened early last I week may b? entirely ?verted. The Southern cotton carri?re, however, it is said, have not altered their original de? mand for a reduction of the differen? tial in the rate between Golf ports and rpool and Gulf ports and Liverpool ^ .a New York. According to the request for a re* case, the I'nited Kiagdom-rontintntal conferences will to-morrow to review the whole i sitaatlen. The derision reached will i be, made the basis of future negotia? tions with the Gulf operators. Among' the issues which are understood to be complicating the matter ia the differ? ence in insurance rat?i between New Orleans and New York, as compared with the rates between the Gulf and Liverpool: the fact that the coastwise shipping companies that bring the cot? ton to New York for trans-shipment to pool absorb the wharf charges of two casts a hundred pound, wh direct shppers from the Gulf U land ai rot; the effect the red . of the differential would have on the business of the coastwise companies, the question of ?cency charges ?nd th? settlement of the rates to be charged by all parties for the two grades of cotton ba!< ?, standard and compressed. ? - Ship Board Allocates Boat to Admiral Line Du? to the derr.snd for cargo - from State? th?

' Senate Report Favors Ship Bill, 11 to 5 (Caatl???? fraw ?as? ???? government upon a aaa of troubla and enormous expense, in th? lor.i o? a direct cash contribution from the Treasury to specific private enterprise. "The proposal is based apon the averment that the adoption of such a policy is neceasary to the establish? ment and maintenance of a merchant' marine adeouat? for the needs of the United Sutes. "The meeeure is attempted to be supported by the assumption that it is sound because th? opponenta of such a policy do not propos? anything better or differen?. "Such an assumption Is unwarrant ?d. It assumes that if an unwise or positively vicious measure is proposed it should be accepted unless some sub? stitute fur it is suggested. The ? to such a mensure is and must be re sisUnc? and defeat. "Any attempt to modify, amend or substitute mesn.? compromise, more or less recognition of the principle in? volved, and therefore would be inade? quate and unsatisfactory. "The argument in s-.ipport < measure is based upon two proposals. First The government now ha. a Seel of 1. too steel vessels, cargo san and II passenger carriers, and their maintenance and operation is rusting1 the rov*rnment some IS,i . month over and above their earnings. ' I?It is essential to the catan- ' ? nt and maintenance of an Amer-, lean merchant marine that the*, sels should pass to private ownership > speedily and the government agvr bureau known as the United States Shipping Board should go out of exist? ence. ? "The first and complete ?ns? these reasons for the measure ia that it will not accomplish rithcr of these things. (alia Act of 1920 Sufficient "The second answer is that the mer chant marine act of 1920 provides am? ple provision for the orderly and ???rnmp!: hniTt of these p?sala in so far as the* should be a compllshed in th? public Interest. "The third answer Is that if t?

"It is g (juestioa of cargoes, an psyments ,,ut of the Treasury w solve that question.

"The whole tendency of the admin istration la against encouraging inter national trade.

In addition to ? about a ton of fresh fat meat, the walrus will yield a fine skin to be made into dog harness and other articles for which a hsavy leather is re? quired? and ivory for the sledge runners and do? mestic implements. Handling these cranky boats in the heavy surf requires a high degree of skill. *'? lit?L\ft ?t a Re\Ulvn PaH Furs for Gifts The fine Fox and Marten skins taken by these Eskimo hunters and collected at Revillon posts in the North make valuable and acceptable Christmas gifts.
