SUEZ CANAL
STATUS TO BE RESPECTED. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. RUGBY, December 19. The Suez Canal was the subject of several answers in the House of Commons and the Premier reminded the House that Britain and Italy had, as a part of the Rome agreement, reaffirmed their intention always to respect the convention of 1888, which declared that without the consent of all parties, the status of the canal could not be altered. Mr Oliver Stanley, President of the Board of 'Trade, stated that, in the three years 1935 to 1937, 46.9 per cent of the tonnage dues were paid by British ships. The proportions of other principal flags were: Italian 17.5; German, 9.3; Dutch, 7.5; French, 5.5.
