BRITISH SHIPPING INCUBUS. OWNERS "CALL FOR REMOVAL
PRIVILEGE OF FOREIGN- COMPETITORS.
In the report of 194 submitted last month to the meeting of the Liverpool Steam Ship Owners Association, which representa nore than 5,800,000 this grass of shipping, a serious fall in British end? shipments is announced, compared with) a heavy increase in 1933, although as far jas can be estimated there was an increase'
in the general export trade.
The controlling factor in recovering our overaras markets, states the report, lies in producing commodities which other countries not only warz but can also afford to buy, and all that ship- owners can do is to provide service at reasonable cost. This, it is claimed, has ben achived, and the mangia) results of representative companies for the past. year, row that freights cannot be fur they reduced as the voyage profits bare hardly covered depreciation,
Whic British shipowners have ürver). asked for subsidies nor for any privi Irges, not shared by foreign competitors --- spite of discrimination shown against them in many foreign countries Al "Competition by ships 2117 by Dominion Governments largely at the ex- pense of their taxpayers-it is vital that shipowners facing these conditions should ot be unfairly handicapped by restric- tive regulations from which foreign ships are exempt:
Considerable additional obligations are now borne by the industry from increas- ed Eres for Government supervision and new and more stringent Board of Trade regulations, the wisdom and necessity of which are open to grave doubt, and from which foreign shipowners are exempt. Already the British standard with regard to health and confort of the crew and safety of those on board is higher than that in ships, of any other nation, and further requirements at heavy cost would appear to be appropriate for inter-1: national Agreement rather than for [domestic legislation. "Apart from these
sans, such excessive regulations hinder progress and prevent development of new ideas and the building of new type of vresels to meet modern requirements,
WAR LOSSES REPLACED,
War losses have now been replaced by new tonnage, mainly by vessels deliver ed since the conclusion of peace, but as the losses were largely among the newer ships and as shipowners were forbidden by law from February 12th, 1915, to August 31, 1924, to all even their older. ships, the average age of tonnage now in service is greater than in 1913,
The cost of replacement after the was, when the work done was inferior in quality, has been from two and a half to three times the original building-c and the total sum paid by the shipping. industry to make good war losses hast been approximately 1980,000,000 while trede has not been such as to show pro- |spects of an adequate return on the boge
capital outlay.
NO STATE ASSISTANCE. Sir P. Cunliffe-Lister, President Board of Trade, asked in the House of Commons recently, if he would take action to deal with the handicap of the shipbuilding industry in competing with foreign firms by assistance in respect of local rates and national taxatici, szid it would not be possible to single out one industry for special treatment.

Commander Kenworthy's proposed bill to legalise boxing should be-assured of strong support, saya the Daily Mail. It is absurd that the stigma of disrepute still attaches to the pastime, which at present makes boxing punishable as com- mon assault, in the same way as a dis- orderly street fight. It is no wander that we are not producing champions. Box- ing is the world's finest discipline" for the body and for the temper. There ought to be more of it.
