While criticising the Government subsidising of shipping lines, Mr Nils R. H.

Company, might have given the impression that all non-British lines were subsidised, but that was incorrect. “ Subsidies have a very demoralising effect on shipping,” said Mr Werring, “ and tend to keep uneconomical tonnage in commission.” RUAHINE DEPARTS.
