BRITISH SHIPPING
DOMINIONS’ AID SOUGHT MENACE OF SUBSIDIES GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Feb. 11. 3.15 p.m.) LONDON, Feb. 10 “I am sure the Government will not look in vain for support from the Dominions to safeguard British shipping,” declared Mr Oliver Stanley, President of the Board of Trade, at a luncheon on hoard Shaw Savill’s new vessel Dominion Monarch to mark its entry into the British-Australian-New Zealand service. He added that the Government was fully alive to the menace of foreign subsidies, and was investigating the shipping industry's safeguards concerning the matter. Replying to Lord Essendon’s comments on the harmful methods of foreign subsidies, Mr Stanley said the Mercantile Marine was an indispensable adjunct to Empire defence, since British ships in 1937 carried 92 per cent, of British imports and 99 per cent, of exports from the Empire. The Dominion Monarch picks up at Capetown 300 S-outh Africans for a round voyage of Australia and New Zealand.
