POST-WAR SHIPPING

BRITISH-AMERICAN DISCUSSION (Rec. 11.55) NEW YORK, April 28. The “New York Times’’ Washington correspondent says: A tentative British-Almerltcwn diplomatic discussion. on post-war shipping has been initiated, but actual negotiations will not begin before the American elections. The paper points out that the United States insists that it must carry at least 54 per cent, of its post-wai’ trade in its own vessels, while the British told that they should not. have to sacrifice their position because they have,, bore the brunt of the sea war. Other nations, Holland and Norway, take the same stand. Shipping experts consider that if all desires are satisfied there will be two ships for each cargo a few years aftei the war.
