TRANSPORT CONDITION.S
The manager of a successful line. of cargo ships, asked to express hia views for publication in the half- yearly "review" number of "Fair- play," the weekly shipping journal, states that "anyone venturing to prognosticate what the Immediate future holds for the cargo steamer cwner must be a bold man.
Ever since the war many of our promin- ent ship ratnagers have from time to time professed to see signs of a slow but steady improvement in trade. Unfortunately, if these signs ever existed, they have failed to fructify."
This authority continues:To look at to-day's transport conditions through prewar spectacles, Bis often done, must now be regarded as a mistake. Former conditions have passed away, and quite a new state of things has come into exist
ence.
Not only is there less inter- national trade-leaving altogether out of the question normal expan- sion-but the tightening of tariff walls in many countries is still fur- ther restricting that free inter- change of commodities 80 vital In a word,

a
the position of the tramp owner to-day In his cut- throat, fight with his competi tors can only be called precarious. Foreign shipowners have undoubt- edly increased their hold on world's transportation to far greater relative extent than
case has been the
with Bri- tish shipowners. Whether this is due to the lower wages they have to pay, plus the more favourable conditions they enjoy in other res- perta, if is hard to say,
"To sum up the position, my view is that there is no detectable data which one can submit to encourage one to look for better freights in the near future. On the other hand, I am one of those who believe that the British cargo shipowner, with his matchless experience and
natural adaptability, can never be put out of business by the for- elgner.
