WORLD SHIPPING.
EFFORT FOR UNDERSTANDING. LONDON, Nov. 10. According to a correspondent of the Financial News, a world shipping conference will be held in London shortly to work out plans for laying up and possibly the restriction of tonnage. The writer says the Chamber of Shipping has sounded the views of all maritime nations on the prospects of the conference. Although a full report on the views of the United States will not be received until next week, the reactions elsewhere have been surprisingly favourWhile there is no chance whatever of a complete abolition of subsidies, the chances of some reasonable arrangement for scrapping or laying up surplus tonnage are said to be very much brighter than they were a few months ago.
