PASSAGES FROM INDIA.
NO SHIPS TO BE CANCEL.ED.
2,500 BERTHS FOR CIVILIANS.
Allahabad, April 3rd-A Pioneer special cable dated London, March 29th says In the House of Com- mods to-day Mr. Fisher, replying on behalf of the Secretary of State for India to Col Yate (Leicestershire Melton, Co. U.) said "My honour able and gallant friend has been mkinformed as to the cancellation of any ships of the eight taken over from the German Government. All of them have been OF will be used for homeward passenger trafic this spring- The ships were provided by the Ministry of Shipping on the understanding that Government, i... Military passengers
were entitled to have priority in
accommodation, and that the balance of the accommodation left, was to be made over to the shipping agents for allctment under the control of the Government of India, to civilian and non-entitled Military passengers. Some weeks ago owing to a misunder- standing the Government of India were informed that all accommoda. tion on the seven ships would be reserved for Military passengers, but the position has now been cleared. Out of a totat accommodation for 3,516 passengers in the ships about. 1,000 berths will be reserved for Military entitled passengers from India and Mesopotamia. The remain. der, amounting to between 2,500 and 2,600 bertbs, will be left at the disposal of the Government of India for allocation to civilian and non-entitled Military passengers. In addition four more ex-German passen- ger vessels will be available from India la April or early May with accommodation for approximately
· All 1,000 passengers of all classes. this accommodation is over and above that provided in the ordinary course by the Shipping Companies, which is left for non-official and non. entitled Military passengers. My honourable and gallant friend may rest assured the subject has con- stantly received my earnest attention, and special measures were in view some considerable time before either the Government of India or Indian Chambers of Commerce made re presentation in the matter."
