BRITISH SHIPPING
FOREIGN COMPETITION. MENACE Ol’ SUBSIDIES. LONDON, May 10. Mr. Alexander Shaw (chairman of the P. and O. Shipping Co.) addressing the Mission to Seamen, referring to British shipping’s disabilities in competing with subsidised ships of the United States, France, Japan, and Italy, said that some of these were carrying on an active economic warfare against Britain’s mercantile marine. This had now gone to the length of a subsidised attack on our sea-carrying trade between one Dominion and another. Every country which was foremost in the attack on our interDomiuion trade prohibited British ships from carrying a single passenger or 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 overclouded our sea ports.
