GOOD-WILL MISSION TO ORIENT.
M. Laval, the French Prime Maiden Voyage of S.S.
Minister, has promised to include. in the national equipment pro- gramme which will be laid before Parliament in June the building of two new fast mail and passen- Ker steamers for the services be- tween France and Algeria.
The building of mail steamers with a speed of 30 to 32 knots for these services has a military purpose: to ensure the transport of troops from North Africa without danger from submarine attacks, states the Algiers cor- respondent of The Times.
To do this it has been decided the journey must be completed in one night, the transports leav ing the Algerian const at nightfall and reaching the French coast by dawn on the following day. But as each ship with the required speed would cost at least £600.000 and the fuel cost would be too high for commercial com- petition, a State subsidy is neces- as at least 15 sary, especially vessels would be needed.

"The year 1981 has begun very badly, and the unprecedented de- pression in our business shows no The passenger list on
sign of improving. I mentioned maiden voyage of the President, to you last year that the cost of Hoover not only will contain the handling cargo had increased.
