United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph- Copyright
(Received September 28, 8.40 p.m.) LONDON, September 27.
“The Daily Mail’’ says that Lord Rothennere, who is visiting Honolulu, cables to England, emphasising the anxiety in the Pacific regarding the future of British shipping, in view of the United States, Germany, Italy and Japan subsidising their fleets. He supports the provision of a £4.000,000 loan, which would cause no more loss to Britain than financially assisting the building of the Mauretania and the Queen Mary, as the ships would pay interest and return the capital within 20 years.
“The Daily Mail,” in a leader, recalls the Hon. Alexander Shaw's unanswered appeal last year and says: “There has been talk galore but nothing done.” “The Daily Mail” insists that the Government must shake off its lethargy and brush aside the obstructionists.
