SERIOUS SITUATION IN
NORWAY.
STATE CONTROL
THE CHINA MAIL,
As a result of the expenses Im- posed upon shipping in Norway through the State control of this branch of industry the competitive capacity of the smallest ships has been reduced, and it is calculated that no fewer than 100,000 dead- weight tons have been transferred to foreign flags since the begin ning of this year,
In this connection, the commit. tee of the Bergen Stock Exchange recall the fact that when report- ing on the year 1926 it was men- tioned that the renewal of the Nerwegian morchant fleet was pro- ceeding for a dominating part in the direction of the acquisition of Large ships. During 1927 the com- mities say that there is the ad- that the smaller! ditional fact ships have to an increased extent been sold to other countries. The
