COST OF SHIPS
THE PROBLEM IN BRITAIN.
SIR E. BEATTY ADVOCATES SUBSIDIES. QUEBEC, July 30. Sir Edward Beatty, chairman of Canadian Pacific Steamships, who returned from England, states that higher costs are delaying the building of new trans-Pacific liners. The present service will continue, but if Britain is to meet the threat of foreign competition she must change her shipbuilding policy. Britain is no longer the great shipping nation of the world, and must subsidise builders, or companies, or both. When the time is ripe a better Pacific service than that maintained by the United States would be given.
