SUBSIDISED COMPETITION. LONDON, November 7. Hon. Alexander Shaw, Director of the P. and O. Shipping Company, and the British India Steam Navigation Company, speaking at Galashiels, referred to what he termed the plight of British shipping through foreign subsidies, and he instanced the trade between Australia and New Zealand. He said this was established by British Empire shipping, and was now facing a continuous loss. This loss was through uneconomic competition by highly subsidised vessels of a country which refused to allow British ships to carry goods and passengers between her ports, but attacked purely domestic trade between Australia and New Zealand. he said, was “mainly because we were so apathetic that we left a notice hanging over Empire ‘trade routes to-day, stiying: ‘Please pick my pockets and kick me downstairs.’ ” He hoped shortly to make concrete suggestions to save British shipping from foreign competition.

S. AFRICAN-ITALIAN SERVICE

CAPETOWN, November 7

The Italian shipping contract with the South African Government provides for four distinct services in which eighteen steamers are participating. Seven are to be oil-burning steamers and eleven coal-burning steamers. It is estimated that the steamers will expend, in their three hundred calls at African ports, for dues, stores, coal and agents’ commissions the full amount of the subsidy they are to receive from the Union Government.
