-LED CHIOZZA, MONEY Sir Loo Chioma Money makes these statements in a notable artiola in the Daily News, in which he points out how the shipowners with high freights are keeping up the cost of living.
When I left the Government in November, 1918, as a protest against the decision to resign the economic direction of the nation to the profiteers, and to sail out the national ships and factories to private capitalista, I pointed out, inter alto, that the nation would have to pay. heavily for being handed over to the vested interests," he writes.
PAY. HEAVILY.
The price bas since been paid in much more than money. We have not bad the imports that we might have had if the direction of ships and imports had remained in public hands. If we con kider the monetary loss alone, however, the results are sufficiently startling, In- deed, the case is so extraordinary that it is difficult to tell the plain truth about it without being suspected of exaggera tion
"In November, 1918, the whole of the British mercantile marine was under re- quisition, and earning its owners the Blue-book, or arbitration, rates of hires, as raised in 1918 to a level which gave a very fair margin, of proft. Now only one-sixth to one seventh of the ships are under raquisition. It follows that the greater part of the British mercantile marine is earning for its owners the ex orbitant rates of freight which it is pos- sible to demand in a short market.
