l). S. Appealed to By Grain Men To
Stop Clogging of Ports
New York.— Produce Exchange members) have appointed a committee
of five to confer with bankers to devise some means whereby grain may
be exported.
The committee was authorized to confer with officials of the govern
ment regarding a plan for shipments of foodstuffs from the United States
to foreign countries, with the assurance that the cargo will be delivered
without being subject to capture.
Foodstuffs,” declared B. W. Blanchard, president of the North Amer
-11 ar] Grain Export Association, 'are ail contraband of war. We have been
told that definitely. Great Britain tas taken over Lloyds, and it is said
that a decree has been passed whereby Great Britain agrees to be respon
sible for the payment of a shipment.”
The'banks do not question the ability of the English government to
rriak. this promise good, hut they insist upon seeing the official text of
th - decree, and some hankers are insisting that before they made ad
vatu <s on bills of lading tha’ the money to meet the, cost of the shipment
shall he deposited in the Bank of England or some other institution, and
that Ihey shall have cable advice to the effect that a specific sum has
been deposited for a specific purpose.”
"We must have an outlet for our grain," said a banker. "The United
Elates and Japan are the only two countries that have poweT sufficient to
protect shipments.
"No appeal has been made yet. but there has been discussion of a
plan whereby the United States government may be asked to send a war
ship with a shipment of foodstuff, to see that it is delivered to the port
to which it is consigned.
"We are a neutral country, Greece Is neutral, and we have been told
that even a cargo shipped to Greece would be subject to capture Such
a .-.ensure would be subject to protest, but any one of the belligerents who
t' ok the cargo would have possession and mifrht agree to make payment,
but tills would fie subject to diplomatic adjustment, and the payment
might be delayed until tile end of the war.
"No one can forsee what the result of the war may be, and, mean
while what Is the hank going to do that has advanced money to the grain
dealer?”

U. S. FLAG ON
OCEAN DEMANDED
BY CONGRESSMEN
Members of House of All poli
tical Creeds Urging For Per
manent American Merchant
Marine
Washington, D. C. Members of the
bouse of all political creeds are urging
legislation providing a permanent Am
erican merchant marine.
Representative Alxeander, chairman of
the committee on Merchant Mamie and
Fisheries, said today:
"This situation has demonstrated the
imperative need of a merchant marine in
this country. The country has at last
been brought to a realisation of the
plight it may at any time find itself in. I
believe the result will he to spur con
gress on to passing legislation looking to
permanent benefits to the merchant ma
rine.
“Hitherto people have thought that It
didn't make any difference whether Am
erican goods were carried in American
or foreign tiottoins, just so long as they
wrre carried, and at reasonable rales.
Now they see that the time easily may
come when foreign bottoms will not he
available.
"I believe the legislation passed yes
terday will have a beneficial effect to
some extent. It will bring unrf-r the
American flag some vessels of foreign
build. Whether they will remain in
American teglstry after things quiet
down abroad Is another question."
Representative Murdock, leader of the
Progressive party in the house:
"My idea of the way to build up our
merchant marine, at least Insofar as our
I^ttn-American trade is concerned, is
embodied In the Weeks bill, which
passed the senate yesterday. Through the
provisions of that bill wo would have
the ideal situation of handling our own
commerce in government ships com
manding all the protection of our flag,
operating efficiency and with an eye
single to the best Interest of our citizens,
and without fear of foreign complica
tions.
"As to the transatlantic merchant ma
rine I do not See the way clear yet. One
tiling Is certain, we must encourage it
by lotting down the restrictions of the
navigation laws along the lines embo
died tn yesterday's legislation."
Representative Burke, Democrat, of
Wisconsin, a member of the Merchant
Marine and Fisheries Committee:
"The present situation has demon
strated conclusively the need of this
country for a merchant marine. Con
greea should take cognisance of this.
"I do not think the United States will
be drawn Into trouble, beracse it wmhi
not be necessary for the nations In
volved to do more than to pass legisla
tion or military regulations prohibiting
such transfers by their own subjects as
treasonable. This would effectively stop
the thing."
Senator James Hamilton Lewis, jf Il
linois:
”1 have always been an advocate of the
building of a merchant marine, and there
was never a time when it was needed
more than sit present. I have a hill tn
the senate providing that the government
shall buHd one hundred vessels and lease
them to private concrens.**
WAR TAX LIKELY,
CUSTOMS CUT OFF
Customs Receipts at Port of

Week. Stamp Tax Probably
to Help Make up Deficiency
Caused by War.
“" i
(New York World.)
Tho complete paralvtu of the conn
tr> « foreign trade t>. reaeon of the
Kuropean crisis will reeult In such a
arent reduction of revenues o' the
t’nlted Sta.e* that it will be neces
sarv for the government. arcoriilng
to the opinion expressed In the im
,>orttna trade >esterdny, to adopt
emergency measures for arising funds
sufficient to meet l.n expenses
It is generally believed in financial
circles that the gosunuuent will
either impose a stamp tax on checks
and legal documents or restore the
tax on tea and coffee.
Per aps it may be necessary to levy
both taxes, as Custom House brokers
expressed the o ,inion yesterday that
tile revenues from customs will fall
off to practically nothing until after
the close of the European war.
The customs receipts at the port of
New York average about $4,000,000 a
week, and It will take many revenue
stamps and mlThy pounds of tea and
coffee to make up the loss that will
be entailed by the stoppage of this
source of revenue.
Up to the present, however, the
effect of tee suspension of traffic be
tween the United States and Europe
has not been felt, as steamers whicu
sailed before war was declared are
still arriving daily. In fact, accord
ing to the records obtained yesterday
at the Custom House, customs re
ceipts for the last week have been
com arativel. little less than those
o: the week preceding. The totals
for the weeks are: Ending July 27,
$4,274,039; ending Aug. 4, $4,219,795.
