A committee representing the Chamber of Shipping, the Aasocia- tion of British Chambers of Com- merce, and the Federation of Bri- tish Industries has completed a comprehensive report on schemes of port development which might, it is suggested, be undertaker with Government assistance in order
to relieve unemployment. The re- port anya that in principle the ship- ping industry is opposed to State ald to trade and Industry, believing that the interests of the country are best served by leaving the develop- ment of such undertakings to normal economic and commerient stimulus, but the ports stand on a different footing and the assistanco of the State might be given for the purpose of carrying out promptly wise and provident improvements, especially as the Government regard the unemployment problem creating an exceptional state of affairs.

"The value of the small ports to the nation in general, and to the surrounding areas in particular, cannot be over estimated. One of their most important functions is port by sen of raw materials and the manufactured articles for those districts which, either by reason of their geographical situation or the small tonnage of their traffic, could not otherwise enjoy this facility Without such cheap transport many local industries now established would be unable to exist, and if it is withdrawn the possibility of establishing new industries will be restricted."

The safety of oil storage would also be increased by this means. The use of such craft
