IN FOREIGN BOTTOMS
LOSS TO BRITISH SHIPPING
EXTENT EMPHASISED
United Press Association—By Electric Tele- . . graph—Copyrifiht. \ LONDON, May 6. The extent to which Empire cargoes are carried in foreign ships is emphasised by the "Daily Telegraph." The paper mentions a list of 66 voyages in 1932 by foreign flag tonnag© from Dominion ports to the United Kingdom. Of these 43 were from Australia, eleven from South Africa, eight from Canada, and the balance from the West Indies. This represents only a small portion of the traffic, as. shippers who charter foreign vessels are not anxious to advertise the» fact. The freight charges going into foreign pockets in j this manner must represent a large sum. . ■ The remedy, says the "Telegraph," is the closing of the inter-Empire freight and passenger market to all nations which exclude our ships from their coastwise trade.
