lochs all round the coast, writes the shipping correspondent of the Daily Express on January S.
There are 40,000 British seamen and 2,000 officers out of work. They are the finest sailors in the world, with the sea as their heritage. But the foreign crews are carrying the cargoes bought by British people.
I finished yesterday a tour of the principal ports of Great Britain. And in each I heard a similar tale, of lost maritime trade, of beautiful shipe rusting away, and of an illo- gical rule which ordains that Bri- tish merchants buying goods abroad must, willy-nilly, have these goods delivered to them by foreign fleets.

Startling consequences follow. When foreign ships unload in Bri- tain they also carry away cargoes many of which otherwise would be shipped in British hulls. In this way one-third of Britain's exports last year, representing £130,000,000, were carried by foreign steamers.

While twenty British craft lie idle in Manchester docks, 27,000 tons of foreign shipping passed through the Ship Canal last week, fifteen foreign steamers from six different countries docking in the canal, and ninety-nine British un- loaded in Hull last month.

And what do they carry? They unloaded here: Fruit, timber, cat- ton, wine, sugar, wheat, canned meat, fish, oil, vegetables, skins and hides, and dairy produce.
When I continued my tour to' Hull I witnessed the most pathetic spectacle in all my experience of the yea. British captains, ships' officers, and seamen stood on the docks with their hands in their pec- kets while goods were unloaded from Dutch, Belgian, and Scan- dinavian ships.
At Cardiff, Mr. Frederick Jones, the head of the shipping firm of Frederick Jones and Co., owners of the Abbey Line, said that French. Spanish, and Greek vessels are our most dangerous rivais.
All broken, chafed, and damaged Goods are to be left in the Godowns, where they will be examined on the 5th February at 10 am. by our sur veyors, Masars. Goddard & Douglas.

But the deepest impression of my tour of the ports of Britain came not from the facts quoted by the shipowners and port authorl- ties, but from the grey hulka that once were ships but now are dere licts, ghosts of the past that strew our coasts, rotting and empty, use- lesa and rusting, with solitary watchmen clanking among chaina.

Foreigners have even seized one- third of Britain's inter-coastal trade, their ships carrying a cargo, "A Cardiff steamer of 7,000 tons from Hull to the Thames, loading has just been sold to the Esthonians there with, say, cement, which they at half the price of a British ship," take to Poole, there to take a cargo he said.
