SHIPPING SUBSIDY EVIL
REQUEST FOR CONFERENCE. COUNTRIES APPROACH BRITAIN. British Official Wireless. Rec. 5.5 p.m. Rugby, April 11. Asked in the House of Commons what action was intended in response to the invitation from Danish, Netherlands, Norwegian and Swedish Ministers to cooperate in remedying the evils from which the shipping industry is suffering, and whether the Government would convene a meeting with a view to discussing the abolition of subsidies in the industry and adjusting the supply of tonnage to actual world requirements, Dr. E. L. Burgin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade, replied that the communications were receiving consideration. Dr. Burgin remarked that the four countries which had made these representations had supported the British Government in this policy at the world economic conference. The matter would be much more important when the subsidy granting country showed willingness to take such action.
