SUBSIDIZED SHIPPING
ACTIVE ECONOMIC WARFARE. BRITAIN SERIOUSLY AFFECTED. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, May 10. Tire Hon. Alexander Shaw, addressing the Mission to Seamen and referring to British shipping’s disabilities in competing with the subsidized ships of the United States, France, Japan and Italy, said some of these were carrying on an active economic warfare against the British mercantile marine. This had now gone the length of a subsidized attack on our sea-carrying trade between one dominion and another. The very country which was foremost in the attack on our interdominion trade prohibited British ships from carrying a single passenger or an ounce of cargo between her ports. So far the British Empire had only met the attack with a policy of passive submission. No wonder unemployment over-clouded our sea ports.
