ROYAL MAIL PROGRESS.—The Royal )i’aii Steam Packet Company. which will celebrate in Septevnlrer the 90th anniversary of the granting of its Royal Charter, has in the last decade or two made history on a scale such as its incorpora~ tors could never in their Wildest dreams have conceived, writes the "Syren and Shipping." From an undertaking which less than 730 years ago was struggling with adversity it has become the controlling partner of a. shipping group which, in point of tonnage owned it for no other reason, has no equal in the world. Its own and its allied fleets aggregate 2,690,692 tons gross; they traversed during 1928 20,000,000 miles on the Seven Seas; carried something like one and a-half nllilion passengers and 15,000,000 tons of cargo, and em~ ployed on board daily an average of 36,000 men, not to mention women. Operations on such a gigantic scale would not be possible without organising machinery of the highest perfec on an a man courageous enough to accept the ultimate responsibility for its successful functioning. “'e do not envy Lord Kylsant the vast power he wields. not merely as a shipowner. but as a leader in other branches of industry, for when all is said and done. its possession must carry with it worries and preoccupations of which no ordinary individual can have any adequate conception. Under his control the Royal Mail Company and its allies have well maintained their place in the trades in which they are engaged. Competition is intense in the South American serwce, and the effects are all the more marked 1n that foreign rivals enjoy State aid m the shape of subsidies: but there seems _no reason to fear that British enterprise will fail to hold its own against all comers.

TAINUI REPORTs.—L. D. Nathan and Company. Ltd, advises that the Shaw, Savill and Albion liner Tainui has reported by wireless that she will teach XVellington from London and Southampton at eight o’clock next Sunday morning, her scheduled date.
