The full text of the report of the Select Committee of the House of Commone on Steam- ship Subsidios, now at hand, embrace, some noteworthy features, remarks the New York Nation The most important of these is the array of the shipping subsidies paid by the various governments of the world. Among the witnesses examined, there ware differences of opinion on the question whether Great Britain now pays more than a fair quid pro que for any ateamship service, Mr. Buxton Forman, representing the Post-office, thought that in some cases more than the postal value of the service was paid for carrying the maila. On the other hand, Sir Spencer Walpola, a former Sooretary of the Post-office, was satisfied that fall

France pays more for steamship subsidies than any other entry, and gets less for her money.
Considerable space is given to the question meant agreements of shipowners to maintain ratos, or to advance them as against the public, or to lower them as against new competitors. Instances are cited showing that many of the evils of railway monopoly exist also in steam. abip traffic, sud that a "long and short-haul clause" would not come amiss in certain cases. For example goods have been taken from Amsterdam to Java via Liverpool at 20%. per
tou, while the rate charged from Liverpool to Jara is 30a. par toù. With some hesitation, the Committee recommends that the Govern ment retain some control over the rates to be charged by ships running noter subsidy, for "if a company merely aims at a fair and reasonable rate it ought to have so ground to fear the control; if it aims at something more, the control is obviously désirable."
The question whether foreigu aubsidies have had a damaging effect upon British trade is examined at same length. The conclusion is reached that British shipping has maintained its flourishing position and hold its own in most places, despite subsidies paid to com- petitors. Between 1890 and 1902, British steam tonnuage increased from 8,330,000 to 13,500,000 tons, while that of Germany rose ouly from 925,000 to 2,600,000, Germany's
