THE BRITISH SHIPPING COMBINE.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. London, June 6. If the attempt to combine the Cunard, Union Castle, Allan and the Elder-Dempster lines is successful, the combine will control more vessels and a greater tonnage than Morgan's syndicate if the Germans are excluded from the calculations. (Received June 3, 1,55 p.m.) London. June 7. Sir Robert Giffen, in giving evidence before the House of Commons Steamship Subsidies Committee, recommended the establishment of liners to connect all ports of the Empire, lite exclusion of foreign subsidised ships on the coast and trading between Britain and the colonies unless they complied with British rules in the matter of construction and equipment and paid a line equal to the subsidy received. Sir It. Giffen remarked that the American Government treated the combine, including the White Star, as the property of Americans.
