TRADE WAR.
GERMANY'S CAMPAIGN. EQUIPPING COMMERCIAL FLEETS} WORKING AT FULL PRESSURE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received April 14, 11.46 p.m. London, April 14. The Daily Chronicle’s special correspondent at Berlin reports that Herr Cune, head of the Hamburg-America Line, speaking at the national shipping congress, said the German re-conquest of its former shipping position entailed a long struggle, but companies were busy equipping ships in readiness to meet foreign competition. Though Germany was only allowed to re-build 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 be saddled with former German ships, the majority of which were already obsolete. The English attempts to sell former German ships revealed the madness of the Allies’ ship policy, the result of which was that English wharves were mostly idle, While Germany’s were working at full strength.—Aus.-N.Z.
