A chill prevented Lord Itichcape from presiding at the Peninsular and Oriental Line's Meeting. Mr. Shaw, the deputy chairman, read Lord Inchcape's speech, which stated that he had never known such a period of depression in shipping as the last eighteen months. It was heartrending lo see steamers starling for Australia and the East week after week with thousands of tons of unoccupied space. The deficiency has been the same with many Homeward ships, but he did not view the future with dismay, especially, he said, "now we have a strong National Government, and are no longer endangered by Bolshevism and Communism." He felt that they vyould hear no more of nationalisation, and industry would be allowed to work out its own salvation.
