“A CONVINCED I IMPERIALIST.”— “Lord Kylsant, who controls a greater tonnage of shipping than anyone else in the world, is a convinced Imperialist, and his purchase of the steamship line established during the war by the Commonwealth Government is something more than a mere business deal. It is an expression of his confidence in the future of the English-speaking race, writes the “Yorkshire Post.” It is only a few months since he acquired the White Star Line, bringing those ships back once more under British ownership, and now, by purchasing the Australian ships, he has placed himself in a position to consolidate his interests In the Pacific Ocean. He has succeeded in a task which would have been regarded as impossible a few years ago. By obtaining control of the Shaw, Savill and Albion Line, the Aberdeen Tune, founded over a century ago, the White Star, and now the Commonwealth Line, Lord Kylsant is linking together the key ports of the Mother Country, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. * j
