Shipping Board bids dispute over Egyptian cotton carriage

The award was withheld, then threats of discriminatory treatment against British ships were made, Britian offered a 50 percent compromise, and the question shifts to alleged refusal of British mills to accept cotton from American ships or under American insurance.
