FEWER BRITISH VESSELS (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, May 26. (Received May 27, at 5.5 p.m.) The British traffic through the Suez canal decreased in two years from 54 per cent, of the total to 46 per cent. Mr W. Broatch, chairman of the Port of London Authority, said that a branch of the British Chamber of Commerce suggested that one of the reasons for the decrease was the feeling of insecurity in the Mediterranean for ships going to Australia and the Far East.
