GERMAN MERCANTILE MARINE.
STRTJOGLE TO REGAIN FORMER POSITION. (By Cftbte—Prosa Association—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Csblo Association.) (Received April 14th. 11.40 p.m.) LONDON. April 13. The special correspondent of the "Daily Chronicle" at Berlin reports that Herr Cuno, head of the HamburgAmerika Line, speaking at the National Shipping Congres, said that Germany's reconquest of her former shipping position would entail a long struggle, but the companies were busy equipping ships in readiness to meet foreign competition. Though waß only allowed to rebuild one-third of her former merchant fleet, she would have an inestimable advantage in a world struggle because she would build exactly to suit lequirements, whereas the Allies would be saddled with former German ships the majority of which were alreadv obsqlete. English nttempts to sell former German shins had revealed the madness of the "Allies' ship-robbing policy," the result of which was that English wharves wore mostly idle while Germany's were working at full strength.
