Mybre, manager of the Baltic and White Sea Conference. The address is reported in an issue of the London journal Syren and Shipping, to hand by the latest mail. Mr. Myhro estimated that tho destruction of the world's tonnage up to the 31st December 101J, •mounted to 2,500,000 tons, not reckoning the Central Powers. England's,net loss was 20 per cent., Norway's 18 per cent net or 40 per cent, gross, Denmark's 24A per cent, net, and Sweden's X per cent. The world's loss he estimated at 30 per cent. From these figures, and the rate of new building, he came to the conclusion that two yeara after hostilities ceased the merchant tonnage of the worrd. would have reached its pro-war dimensions. In regard to the prospective situation, Mr. Myhre quite recognised that much depended upon thr extent to which State control of shipping woi:Sd be operative. A problem which would call for the attention of tho community after the war was -whether the State should continue to control shipping, or, rather, whether the State was to continue to ylay the role of shipowner. At 4.30 p.m. yestorday the Mararoa. was short of three firemen, and the vessel was . unable to get away for Lyttelton until 5.40 p.m., .' when arrangements were mado to fill the vacancies. Attention is directed to an advertisement in t'.iis issue regarding the Eastbourne ferry service/ The full ordinary time-table will be "Tcverted to to-morrow. The Cobar was taken on the Slip to-day for - Meaning and painting. 1 A four-masted schooner was sighted from Iho Lyttelton Heads 6n Tuesday night. .
