ECONOMIC WAIKFARE
P. AND 0. CHAIRMAN'S
PROTEST
(JRcccivod May 11,11 a.m.) ' LONDON, May 10. Tho Hon. Alexander Shaw, in an uddross to the Mission to Seamen, referring to British shipping's disabilities in competing with the subsidised ships of tho United States, France, Japan and Italy, suid that some of these wero carrying on activo economic warfare against tho British mercantile marine. "This has now gone to the length of a subsidised attac'. on our .sea-carry-ing trade between one Dominion and another. The very country which is the foremost to attack our interDominion trade has prohibited British ships from carrying a single passenger or an ounce of cargo between : her1 ports. So far the British Empire only met the attack with a policy of passtye submission., No wonder unemployment has overclouded our seaports."
