CONFERENCE IN LONDON.
EMIGRANTS AND PASSENGERS. MARITIME COMMERCE POLICY. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received 7.5 p.m.) Renter. LONDON. April It. One hundred delegates, including representatives of Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Japan, attended the third International Shipping Conference in London. Sir Walter Runciman presided. The conference unanimously carried a resolution calling on the Governments to be represented at the forthcoming International Labour Conference to demand the withdrawal from the agenda of the proposed draft convention on ITie simplification of the inspection of emigrants aboard ship. Sir Alan Anderson, who moved the resolution, said the matter was outside the scope of the International Labour Office, which was tending to extend its province unduly.
Tho question of compulsory insurance of passengers was referred to a committee. A resolution moved by the chairman, urging a co-ordination of the policy of the various nations, as regards maritime commerce in a central co-ordinating body like the Maritime Committee of the League of Nations, was also referred to a committee.
