ITALY TO INDIA,
SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO

The first voyage of the cargo motorship Barbarigo, built by the Cantiere, Navale Triestino di Monfalcone for the Societa Veneziana di Navigazione a Vapore, to British India may be considered very successful, con- sidering the present depression, states the Genca correspondent of the Journal of Commerce. The Badbarigo is one of four sister-ships specially built for the company for the Indian ser- vice with the object of increasing trade with India, not only from Italy, but also with Centrul Europe through the Italian ports. The trial speed of the Barbarigo

The Societa Veneziana WAS established' in 1900, and com. menced a service between Italy and India with two cargo vessels. In 1903, in order to meet Aus- trian competition, two more steamers were placed in commis- sion, and, with a limited subven. tion from ment, the service was thus main- tained until the War, during which the terminal port wAB changed to Genoa instead of Venice.
the Italian Govern
After the War the ships last were
replaced, and although Venice again became the terminal port, a service was continued from Genoa, but without State assistance. Since 1926, the Gov- ernment has granted the com-
panya sum equal to half the Suez Canal tolls for the service from Venice, and last year a simi- lar concession was made to the ships sailing from Genoa, subject to a minimum of nine sailings a year with ships of a speed not less than 14 knots.

at a cost of £200,000. All seasick sufferers will watch the experi- ment with interest. It is under- stood that although stabilisers have been installed in several small vessels, and also in a naval aircraft carrier, never before have they been applied to a ship of such great size as 50,000 tons. Besides being expensive, the anti-rolling equipment will be very heavy and occupy much space but no doubt the company feel they will make up the ex- pense if their ship becomes popu- lar by reason of helping its pas- sengers to fight this uncomfort-
