A completely revised international code of signals to be used in the Mercantile Marine will, according to the plan of the editorial committee on the international code of signals, be brought into operation by January 1, 1934 (states the onip ping World). The report is the work of an editorial committee, consisting of representatives of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway. Spain, the United States of America and Britain, which was- assembled by the British Government in 1928, following a decision of the international radio-telegraphy conference at Washington in 1927.. TWO LARGE LINERS. The two new ships for the North Atlantic route which were recently ordered by the United States Lines were to have /een of 30,000 tons with a speed of about 20 knots. These brief particulars were announced when the keels were laid by the New York Shipbuilding Company at Camden. As the designs incorporated the ideas of the management and had been approved by the Shipping Board as well as by the Navy Department at Washington, it. was thought that the construction would go forward without a hitch. In the meantime, however, the cabin ship has increased in popularity and it has been urged that the two vessels may prove too large for such traffic. Moreover, some controversy has arisen as to their speed in view of the postponement of the two express ships which were to have been ordered. It is now rumoured in New York that they may lever be built, possibly owing to their high cost. At any rate, the designs, of the two ships now under construction are being reconsidered by a special committee at the request of the directors of the United States Lines. It is probable that the prevailing depression on the North Atlantic route, resulting in some ships leaving port with their accommodation almost empty, has not been without influence on the management of the United States Lines, who are keen business men. A good many shipping and other schemes which were being considered on the other side of the Atlantic may be revised in view of the fallingoff in the national revenue and the tightness of money throughout the United States.
