GERMAN SHIPPING
STRUGGLE TO REGAIN PREWAR POSITION
ALLIES SADDLED WITH OBSOLETE SURRENDERED VESSELS
jtly Telegrra-ph—Pres® A asocial ion-Copyright / (Rec. April 14, 11.40 p.m.) London, April 14. The "Daily Chronicle’s" special correspondent at Berlin reports that Herr Cuno, head of the Hamburg-Amer ilqi Line, speaking at the National Shipping Congress, said that German reconquest of her former shipping position entailed a long struggle, but tho companies were busy equipping ships in readiness to meet foreign competition. Though Germany was only allowed to rebuild one-third of her former fleet, she would have an inestimable advantage in the world struggle because she would 'build exactly to suit requirements, whereas the Allies would tie paddled with the former German ships, the majority of which were already obsolete. The English attempts to sell ‘the former German ships revealed the madness of the Allies’ ship-robbing policy, the result of which was that English wharves were mostly idle, while Germany’s were working at full strength. —Aus.-N.Z.
