SHIPPING COMBINE
LORD KYLSANT’S PREDICTION CHIEF OF FORTY COMPANIES Lord Kylsant’s prediction of a giant snipping combine is announced in an English journal. A shareholder of Lamport and Holt, Limited, asked Lord Kylsant if he could expect to give that company efficient service as chairman and manag-ing-director when he was chairman or director of 40 companies. The shipping magnate replied that he did not consider 40 too many. “I am a director of a shipping company, of a bank and of a railway company,” he said. “The remainder are all shipping concerns, which I regard as one, and if I am spared for a few more years I hope to see them one—such a company as Britain need not be ashamed of.” Lord Kylsant is 67 years old, and owns more than 6.000 acres in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. He is chairman and mafiaging-director of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. the White Star Line, the Union Castle Line, and other associated companies, which include the Aberdeen Line, into which the Australian Commonwealth Line was absorbed. He is also chairman of Harland and Wolff. Limited, the Belfast shipbuilding firm, and a director of the Southern Railway and of the Midland Bank.
