THE ANTI-DUMPING BILLAN Lord Inchcape, the chairman of the Peninsular and Oriental Steem Navig tion Company, addressing a meetingraf abareholders in London on December 10th., said it was a curious "coincidence that as soon as all the free ships came under charter to Government, and the rates of freight and passage money, were controlled by Government, they were ad- vanced by anything from 19 per cent, to 85 per cent., and it was another coinci- dence that as 'soon as the steamers wera freed from control in the spring of 1919 the rates were very considerably reduced. If there was any profiteering in freights

By others he meant Americans, and if British ship- Owners were to be up against the com- petition of the American. Shipping Board, which meant the resources of the Ame

Having bought a few old ships at the outbreak of hostilities, osten sibly to bring food to this country, and baving made large, profits out of running. these ships throughout the war, the Com monwealth Government was now bitten with the idea of becoming a shipowner, and had come out to compete with pri vate enterprise. If British shipowners bad against them the resources of Aus tralia it might end in their selling their ships to the Australian Government Everything had worked perfectly smooth- ly for the last forty years, and they re garded it as uncommonly hard that the Commonwealth Goverhent should now propose to step in and borrow money to place steamers in the Australian trade to compete with private enterprise. The present move was a direct attack "on-in- dividualism and private enterprise.
The Anti-Dumping Bill caused him growing consternation. If what we want ed was a short legislative cut to commer cial suicide, then no more effective bill was ever devised. Any measure on those lines which sought to rivet on British industry the abomination of Government would be fought unitedly by the entire commercial community..
They had had enough of that sort of thing. The sole condition on which British trade. could recover the ground it had lost was that it should be absolutely free of bureau- cratic control He admitted that his knowledge of coal mining was limited, as he was only, interested as a consumer, but bunker coal, in London before the war, when prices were governed by free competition, cost 238, a ton, and under Government control ip cost to-day no lesa than 1055. If coal mining profits were to be limited, he would ask, what about the other branches of trade! If all in. centive to work, economy, and develop. ment was to be removed, if the country. was to become stagnant, then let them Init the profits not only of the coal companies but of every other industry and profes sion.

We must discharge them, and they would be a burden on the country for many a day, but we ought not to launch out into fresh uneconomic expenditure and go on addi- ing to our debt.
