GERMAN SHIPPING LINES ADVANTAGE FROM CURRENCY LONDON, Dec. 31. The financial writer of the Daily Express says: “British shipping companies operating services to the Far East , are gravely concerned about indirectly subsidised German competition. The subsidy arises from the present state of German currency. An instance is that, though register marks and Reichsmarks do not differ internally, tiie former are purchasable outside Germany 39 per cent, below Reichsmarks. A £ICO passage on a German ship can thus he bought by non-Germans for £6l. Payment in register marks formerly operated on German .Atlantic lines, hat the .Atlantic Conference had (lie. prariim st nppcrl.’ ”
