LONDON, Nov. 27. Mr. Andrew Weir, a director of the Standard? Shipbuilding and Engineering Company* Ltd.., m an interview, said that he did not fear . competition m British shipbuilding. We could build cheaper and better than anybody. No nation was so well placed as Britain m regard to meeting liabilities. Th© Prime Minister should make a pronouncement as regard^ the relation of capital and labor. He admitted that the latter^ had grounds for suspicion. The Government' should- declare, that Labor must participate m the profits of the industry # If this were done,' the national wealth could be multiplied to an extraordinary degree.
