GIANT CUNARDER
PROSPECTS OF SISTER SHIP The prospect of a second giant Ctinardcr being Ijuill to follow the 534 was discussed by Sir Percy Bates, chairman of the Cunard Steamship Company, at the annual meeting of the company in London last month: The directors, he said, were anxious to proceed to the consideration of a second ship, but some considerable time must elapse before any order could lie given. Sir Percy added : " We shall have a good ship in No. o;}4, but in view of the constant progress in naval architecture I would much like to see whether we cannot make a second ship even better, and this process will take some time. "It is, of course, a question to be studied by the directors and officials of the new merger company when formed. In addition, as provided by the provisional agreement for the formation of the merger company, it is necessary to obtain Treasury sanction." Sir Percy stated that the o,'}4 should be launched in October or "November.
