The Proposed. Direct British Service.
The East African Section of. the London Chamber of Com- merce spent some time recently discussing a communication from the Imperial Shipping Com- mittée, advising that the Secre- tary of State for the Colonies had referred to them for their obser- vations, the Section's suggestion for a direct British steamship service between Great Britain and East Africa, and inviting the Section-to-give evidence on the matter.
Mr. C H Hausburg (vice- chairman) presided and said the Imperial Shipping Committee had asked their views on three questions:-(1) What were the complaints against existing ser- vices? (2) What benefits were desired from the establishment of a regular British service, be- tween the U.K. and East Africa? (3) How was it suggested that such a steamship service should be paid for?
The chairman said the service to 'Mombasa seemed all right; the trouble was carrying mails, to points beyond.
Mr. E. H. Sayer said one solu- tion would be better roads be- yond Mombasa or a fast coastal service.
Major Walsh proposed a com- mmittee of Sir Humphrey Leggett, Mr. Hausburg, Major Lee and Mr. E. H. Sayer to go into the matter. This was ngreed to. Major Walsh dwelt on the very high charges for lighterage in East Africa, and said that several companies were considering buy- ing their own lighters as a pro- Lest. Sisal was another subject discussed-one of the main pro- thuets of Tanganyika. It was de plored that the Admiralty re- cently chose Portuguese sisal in- stead of British Bisal. Ал ар- peal was made for an extended use of sisal in Britain.
Mr. Sayer dwelt on the great future of this industry in "Tan- ganyika if only Britain would use it. Also he pointed to the re- cerit discovery of enormous coal deposits in that territory, and said there was a great future for their exploitation.
Major Walsh said several eco- nomic reforms might be brought forward to help East Africa. For example, each year £160,000 was paid in freights for sisal and over £260,000 was spent for the travelling of Government officials
East Africa.
They might well bring about some economics un der this latter heading.
