Alter Cargoes Alexandria, Egypt, Oct. 21.-—The controversy between the United States Shipping Board and British shipping interests resulting from the shipping board’s demand that American vessels shall have a fair share of the cotton cargoes carried from Alexandria to the United States has been watched with Intense interest here. American shipping interests in Egypt have grown rapidly within the last few years. This is shown by the fact that 95 American vessels entered this port in 1920, as compared to only 20 vessels entering here in®the pre- vious vear. In 1913 there were no American vessels calling here. In 1914 there was one ‘and in 1918, three. A similar increase is shown .in the NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCIOBER 21, JOBLESS RIOT IN LONDON number of American ships passing through the Suez canal. In the years 1913 and 1914 no such passages were recorded but in 1920 the number had reached 152 American vessels. In consequence of this ircrease, the, United States Shipping board has opened offices at Alexandria and Port Said and the state department at Washington has established a con- sulate at Port Said. Americans have organized firms as agents and contrac- tors for American ships. The increase in the trade between America and Egypt has led to the creation of a regular steamship serv- ice between thesc two countries. It is beginning to be understood here that American exporters have learfed that Wwithout this steamship service their business is at the mercy of foreign shipping interests and that it is essen- tial to the American exccrter to favor, without coddling, the ship flying the American flag® Americans here say that the Ameri- can steamship service cannot be main- tained unless American skips can ob- tain a fair share of the enly important return cargo from Egypt, namely cot- ton. It is felt here that American ship- ping circles do not properly appre- ciate the significance of the Suez can- al as a convergence point in the world’s traffic. The British, on the other hand, have not failed to note its importance. They have consilidated their mnterests in shipping in the hands of a few powerful English firms so that English ships loading &t any eastern or western port can safely ac- cept cargo for any destination afid use Port Said to their advantage as a point of transhipment. Complaint has been made that here- totore American shipping inferests have been handled by foreign and rival comcerns which have other interests to consider before those of American vessels. It has been urged that until Kmeri#8Yy ships at the Suez Canpal are in Amfgcan hands which have the incentive -and feel the necessity . of building vp a transhipment business, America cannot secure a grip on the huge freight traffic through the Suez canal. Tmporters and exporters here who have been endeavoring to build up American foreign trade say there are three services of fundamental import- ance which must be developed before this can be accomplished. These ser- vices have been called the “3 R’s” of foreign comme fyiai success, end they are set forth as follows: A. American banking Iinstitutions in every important port alding the lo- cal importers and exporters to finance their trade with America and to fl- nance American ships in foreign ports. B. American insurance companies to insure all goods shipped to America and to prevent discrimination against American vessels. C. Americans to organize and han- dle American shipping in foreign porta to reduce expenses and to pro- cure :argo which now goes to foreign ships through intentional and unin- tentional neglect. NARROW ESCAPE Four Men Faced Possible Death At Main Street Railroad Crossing. A serious accident was bharely averted this morning at the Main street railroad crossing. The gates were down to let a switching engine pass, and about 40 yards up the track, another one with two freight cars attached to it was coming down on the same track. The crowd of peo- ple were standing inside the gatgs, and did not see the express train which was coming in full speed from Waterbury. Some of the people who were on the safe side of the gates, cried out to those who were standing on the tracks, and most of them made a dash to safety. Four men, however, who were very interested in discussing some affair, seemed mot to hear, and it looked as if they would be struck by the oncoming train. The ergineer of the express, sensing the situation, gave a blast on his whistle, and the men jumped forward, into the space between the freight and express, safe but badly scared, and not a second too soon. 7480 New Haven Road Employes Are Affected New Haven, Oct. 21.—An official statement by Gen.

Police are shown taking to the station one of the jobless men who led the recent riot in London. FAVOR DEMOCRAT FOR PROSECUTOR Belief Is That McDonough Could Have Position Provided He Is Willing to Accept. Although he 1s of the opposite political faith, at least one alderman and a councilman of the republican party have already come out for and others are quoted as being in favor of the election of Lawyer P. F. McDonough as prosecuting attorney should the -office become vacant by the resignation or impeachment of Attorney ~Greenberg. Lawyer Me-; Donough is a prominent democrat.| The council, being 5 to 1 republican, is in a position to restrict the office to that party should it so desire. “It's too delicate a subject to even discuss,” Lawyer McDonough said when asked how he felt about the office, “but I would certainly like to| see Greenberg declared innocent and back on his job.” With the idea that the office will soon be vacant tnrough one means' or another, candidates are being rapidly brought to the fore for the vacgpcy. Among those mentigned are: Charles Mitchell, former prosecutor; M. H. Camp, 'assistant corporatioh counsel; Joseph G. Woods, the. present assist- ant prosecutor; M. A. Sexton, former liquor prosecutor, and William = M. Greenstein, who had been mentioned as a possibility at the time of Green- berg’s appointment.
