EOLBYSINPRESSIONS OFSOUTHANERICA Wastdngton, Jan. 27.—Once agaln at his desk at the state department after nearly two months of traveling, Secretary Colby today told of the fmpressions gain- ed from his official visits to Brazil and Uruguay, and his unofficial visit to Ar- Fentine. “It was a broadening experience, one that I wish all my_ fellow countrymen might have,” Mr. Colby declared. “With- out exception, I found the three repub- lics evincing the utmost friendliness for the United States, as well as a profound understanding of the situation with re- epect to the :est of the world in which this country finds itself now that the Wwar is over. “I know no better way of expressing my admiration of the people of those countries than by sayinz that they are delightful, progressive, enlightened — ehort, worthy in more than one respect of emulation of North Americans.” secretary of state said the out- re of all his receptions was the nt Wileon,” who, he added, was perhaps “better appreciated in Latin America than in the United States.” Mr. Colby said he found that South Americas were well informed on questions now uppermost in the United States, in- cluding tariff revision. “In Argentina, particularly,” he added, “the men at the head of affairs under- stand the motives of American law mak- ers who are sponsoring the measures and are not apprehensive of the outcome. Al- 80, they' understand, through experience with their own cong: , that measure in- troduced is not necessarily a measure wdopted. . “In my talks with men of affairs, I un- derstood particularly to explain that this country was under great financial pres- sure caused by the war and that what- ever tariff measurgs might be passed would resuit from tne absolute necessity of raising money to carry on the affairs of the nation. T found them sympa- thetic and, not inclined to place a false construction on our acts.” Secretary Colby said he had found no evidence that the Argentine government contemplating the ‘imposition of retalia- tory tariffs on American imports inte Argentina in case the Fordney tariff measure becomes & law. DEFENSE OF TRTERNATIONAL MERCANTILE MARINE OFFICER{ ‘Washington, Jan. 27.—Officers of the International Mercantile Marine ‘com- pany, headed by R. A. S. Franklin, presi- dent, today gave the shipping board, sit- ting as an investigating body, their story of their 20-year agreement with the British government stipulating that they “pursue no policy injurious to the inter- ests of the British mercantile marine or of British trade.” The agreement was brought to’the notice of the board last week through an address by Senator Jones of Washington before the National Merchant Marine association. President Franklin characterized his company as being “100 per cent. Ameri- can at all times.” He presented a list of shareholders showing that 94 per cent. of the company was owned by Americans “in the United States” and declared none of his managing officials was a foreigner. Questions developed that §7 per cent. of the more than 1,800,000 tons of ship- ping operated by the International Mer- cantile Marine was registered abroad and was subject to requisition by those for- eign governments in case of war. Atten- tion also was' directed to the clause of the agreement specifying that a majority of the directors of subsidiary companies in England must be British subjects. Admiral Benson, chairman of the NORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1821 board, said that although Americans owned the vessels, actual control rested with the foreign directors of the com- panies subsidiary to the International Mercantile Marine. Mr. Franklin de- clared, however, that the stock “was locked up in New York, owned by Ameri- cans,” and the foreign control could not affect the operation-of ships by his com- pany. Mr. Franklin described his company as an “outcast” despite the fact, he said, that it had’ attempted to sell its Briitsh tonnage to “get money to buy American vessels, flying the American flag,” and would have done so but for the objection of President Wilson to the sale. He told the board that the British at first regard- ed the International Mercantile Marine as an “American trust in England” and as an “invasion of American financiers in British trade.” The feeling in England was so strong. he said, that the British government was compelled to “take measures of self- protection.” . Mr. Franklin declared the British had never invoked any part of it and experi- ence had proven That they would not, un- less another emergency such as the world war should cauvse them to requisition the ships flying the Brilsh flag. He said the agreefent {did not affect the vessels op- erated by the. International Mercantile Marine under the American flag.
