SUBSIDISED SHIPPING
Britain's Disabilities ' Press Association—Copyright London, May 10. Mr. Alexander Shaw, president of the Chamber of Shipping of the United Kingdom and deputy-chairman of the P. and O. Company, addressing the Mission to Seamen, referred to British shipping's disabilities in competing with the subsidised ships of the United States, France, Japan and Italy. "Some of these are carrying on an active economic warfare against Britain's mercantile marine," Mr. Shaw said, "and this has now gone to the length of a subsidised attack on our sea-carrying trade between one Dominion and another. Every country which is foremost in the attack on our inter-Dominion trade has prohibited British ships from carrying a single passenger or an ounce of cargo between its ports. So far the British Empire has met the attack only with a policy of passive submission. No wonder unemployment has overcrowded our seaports."
