SHIPPING RINGS.
A disensslon took place ons metion submitted by the delegates representing the United ingdom providing for the safeguarding of rights in any faters colonial merchant Smaty shipping legislation. Sir W. Lyne moved an amendment, which would have made the resolu tion read as follows:-
"That it be recommended to the Australian and New Zealand Governments in any fature merchant shipping legislation to insert an ex al prese provision safeguarding the posibility any interference by ray tronty rights unless these rights have been expressly concurred in by the l'olonies.'
The amendment not being carried, the resula. tion was unanimously adopted in the following
form:-
That it be recommended to the Australina and New Zealand Governants in any futura merchant shipping legislation to insert an express provision safeguarding the obligations imposed by any treaties in which they have
ncurred or may sub equently ouer,'
The conference the discussed etions of
The Royal Commission on Shipping Rings held its Leuth moting last month at Wie- ohenter Housa, when Mr. John Hel of the West African Trade Association, gave evidence Mr. John Holt was of opinion that the com- bination of shipowners in this West African trado was practically a mously, and that its operations were detrimental to British trade. His chief objection was agains, the practice Fristing in this trade under whick the shipping companies carried cargo on their own count and were interested in banking and other coforoiga shipping, auiformity of regulations and mercial concerns besides shipping. He was opizion that a combination of merchants to Dercome the monopoly was not feasible owing to the jealonaire and rivalries of morehauts, and the no remedy could be fo and except in legislation abolishing the rehate system, and Chas restoring the baitefits of open competition.
