SHARE OF SHIPPING IN NATION'S INCOME.
Danger of Curtailing
Overseas Trade.
Speaking in the House of Com mons, in mail week, on a motion calling attention to the position of the steel industry, Sir Robert Asko said the amount which the country derived from shipping as part of its national income was not less than 120 millions a year.
That money went to purchase a large part of the food and the luxuries we enjoyed, and which could not be obtained without such money. Therefore, anything which tended to reduce our exports or im ports cut Into that source of national income. Those who spoke so freely about reducing aur im- ports were striking a great blow at our national Income.
From the point of view of ship- building he auid, they wanted iron and steel at the cheapest price. buying cheap iron and steel, and the

Mr. W. R. Smith, replying to the NEW N.Y.K. VESSEL ON LONDON! debate, said the Cunard Company found themselves in difficulty with regard to the construction of the now liners by which they hoped to win back the Blue Riband of the Atlantic.
The Government met
that difficulty speedily and ade quately by facillating the construc- tion of those ships. That was a legitimate and proper method of stimulating industry along lines which were helpful and brought about employment.
