RECRUITMENT OF COASTGUARD SERVICE.
At the recently weekly meeting of members of the Mercantile Marine'
Soviet shipbuilding orders," the Canton, French str.. 976 tons, Capt. Service Association subjects of im-

ភេទ
It is doubtful if any tangible
results will follow the representa tions made to the President of the Board of Trade by the deputation which, waited upon him from the Shipbuiding Employers' Federa- tion on the question of Soviet shipbuilding orders. There is no doubt that Russian orders for
could ships and machinery
be secured in this country if the terms of credit required by the contractors could be granted: in fact, the work may be said to be purely a question of credit, but the terms asked are not such as the shipbuilding und en- average gineering firm is in a position to concede.

ing too much to expect that the Government can spate any funds for assisting shipbuilders to ex- tend long term credits to Russin. even if by doing so serious un- employment might be relieved.
