BRITISH SHIPPING.
REPORT BY THE COMMITTEE. CONSULTING THE DOMINIONS. (United Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.15 p.m.) LONDON, November 11. Replying to a debate in the House of Lords, Lord Templemore said that the report of the Imperial Shipping Committee was being sent to the Dominion Governments and would, he hoped, be published in two or three weeks. The British Government intended to approach the other Governments and formulate their views in the hope of reaching an agreement. The whole question of shipping was exceedingly complicated, and the Government was of opinion that it must be dealt with in a great degree piecemeal by giving tramp steamers a subsidy and by supporting other schemes brought in in the last few years. The British Government would not wait approaches from the other Governments, but would formulate its own views and communicate them to the Dominions. “We must move with the Dominions, but as far as possible we will take the lead and try to get an agreement in reasonable time,” said Lord Templemore, who added that the Government was dispatching the report to the Dominions by air mail.
