HIGH SPEED AT SEA
Whilst great interest is being taken in the construction of high- speed passenger liners, one fact is realised that perhaps not generally much faster cargo ships are being built than were common a few years
ago.
It appears that this tendency is more marked on the Continent than it is stated in in Brain, and "The Motor Ship" thac four wek- known Continent shipowners between them have 30 cargo liners under con- struction, varying in speed from 14 to 15 knots.
On the other hand, the majority of cargo ships which have been order- ed in Britain since ti:e begin- ning of the year ale tramps of moderate speed and the question class of vessel arises whether this will retain the position in shipping which it has held for so long, in face of the increasing competition of the fast cargo liner.

The report of this committee divides the world into zones bounded by parallel of the records of latitude according to weather conditions, and recommends that within these zones the seasonal bad lines should be operative. These the world, zones pass right round and are a much more definite guide to loading than the rule at present in operation.
If, however, the recommendation of the committee is adopted, it will,
