GERMAN SHIPPING.
A PHENOMENAL RECOVERY.
BIG TONNAGE OF NEW SHIPS. (Received Tuesday, 7 p.m.). BERLIN, March 14. Germany’s phenomenal mercantile marine recovery has been emphasised by Herr Cuno’s declaration at a congress of German shipowners to. the effect that the 600,000 tons left by the Versailles Treaty have already been raised fo 3,200,000 tons, 2,000,000 bethe pre-war standard. He pointed out the great moral effect produced by the re-appearance of German ships ‘throughout the world. As evidence of Germany’s unbroken vitality it is a significant point that forty per cent, of the commercial fleet is less than five years old, whereas the world’s average is sixteen per cent. Furthermore, German ships were superior in loading and unloading, safety devices and speed, especially the freighters. He also emphasised that the whole of the pre-war long distance routes had been recaptured and that while, English shipyards were at a comparatively lew ebb, German yards were working overtime.—(A. and N.Z.).
