BRITISH TONNAGE DECREASING.— The proportion of the world’s tonnage under the British flag still continues to decrease. Comparing Lloyd’s Registrar Book of 1914 and 1927, it is revealed that the world’s tonnage in these 13 years increased by 17,863,000 tons. In 1914 Great Britain owned 41.6 per cent, of the world’s steam and motor tonnage. That figure has now shrunk to 30.3 per cent. Nevertheless. over 20.5 per cent, of British tonnage is less than five years old, and the only two merchant navies which have a larger proportion of new vessels are the German (25.2 per cent.) and the Norwegian (21.4 per cent.). It would be interesting to know what proportion of the world’s tonnage is being supported by means of subsidies and various discriminating measures, and what proportion is being run at a profit on ordinary commercial principles.
