It can be stated with satisfac- tion that in the year 1925 the Norddeutscher Lloyd brought its provisional reconstruction pro- gramme practically to a conclu- slon with the completion of the 'steamer "Berlin," and was able also considerably to atrengthen its. financial position by its absorption of the Roland Line Company (in which the, N.E.L. already had a large financial interest) and of it.he.

A Disastrous Situation, "In view of this position of affairs German shipping might perhaps have been. allowed pause to get its breadth in order to prepare itself for further im- portant tasks, and to obtain a per- fectly clear view in regard to its American prospects.
