As regards the statement made by. the Shipowners' Protection Associa tion of Hongkong that all shipowners have been losing money this year, to put it mildly this is an untruth, as any local shipping man can tell you judgment was given in the that owners of British steamers on Supreme Court yesterday by the the China Coast have not had a better Chief Justice, Sir Williata Rees Davies, year since 1916.
