BRITISH SHIPPING AFTER THE WAR
OPPOSITION TO NATIONALISATION, London, August 30. The committee of the United Kingdom Chamber of Shipping, including Sir Kenneth Anderson, (manager of the Orient Steam Navigation Company), bir James Mills, and the principal shipowners, reports 6trongly against tho nationalisation, of the mercantile marine after the war. The committee considers it impracticable for any Government to fix freights, since tho greater part ot sea-carriage is in foreign bottoms. The committee proposes the revision of the shipping laws between Great Britain and the Dominions, and,also between the Empire and foreign countries, with a view to abolishing anomalies, l'orei&n. liners carrying passengers to British ports should pay dues. The report insists on the gravity of war-wastage and urgency for making good the losses, ifle existing prohibition against the transfer of British ships to foreigners should be continued for at least five years after the war. Eepairing facilities should bo reserved for- British shipping for two yeare. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
