"On tlie trade of our group for 1932 the direct taxation, exclusive of income-tax on profits, was about £50,000,000. Against this the shareholders received in dividends just under £6,000,000, on most of which they have to pay income-tax. These figures speak for themselves."—Lord Bearsted. "Shipowners, naturally, wish to see the world's trade flowing freely. If that cannot be achieved, then it is necessary for them, as the only other alternative, by one means or another, to restrict the supply and use of their tonnage until the supply and demand balance."—Mr. W. A. Souter, president of the Baltic and International Maritime Conference*
