BRITISH SHIPPING
SUPPORT FROM DOMINIONS NECESSARY GOVERNMENT ALIVE TO SUBSIDY MENACE Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, February 10. (Received February 11, at 10.15 a.m.) “ I am sure the Government will not look in vain for support from the dominions to safeguard British shipping,” declared Mr Oliver Stanley (President of the Board of Trade) at a lunch aboard the Shaw Savill Company’s new Dominion Monarch to mark its entry into the British-Australian-New Zealand service. He added that the Government was fully alive to tho menace of foreign subsidies, and was investigating the shipping industry’s proposed safeguards concerning tho matter. _ Replying to Lord Essendon’s comments on the harmful methods of foreign subsidies, Mr Stanley said the mercantile marine was an indispensable adjunct of Empire defence, since British ships in 1937 carried 92 per cent, of British imports and 99 per cent. ,of the exports from the Empire. , The Dominion 4 Monarch picks up at Cape Town 300 South Africans for the round voyage to Australia and New Zealand.
