Mr. Donne Law, who, rome time ago, admitted in the House of Commons that he had a small amount of shares in shipping comparice, gave recently some ́forther partica'aru of his invest
menta.
He made the statement in the course of some strongly adverse comments on the profits ship owners had made daring the war. The discussion arces on details of the Finance Bill,
end there. One of these steamere has been either sold or sank; he did not know which. In that ship. he had £200, and after the hand- some dividend be had obtained he received cheque for a little over £1,000. There was another shipping company in which he invested $350. The other day be received letter from the
managing owners stating that tbe cost of shipping and the cast of building #56 so high that it was not probable that they would with to invest in ekipe, and therefore they were going to make a division out of aarplus capital, For the C350 he received a cheque for £1,050. That was the trade which was being ruined by the Government.

explanation wae that it was part of a bargain with the Libour
Mr. Bonar Law egretted that there was not a larger House to listen to the moasicge of the shipowners. In his opinion the Government ought not to have allowed shipowners to make the profils they hal made. He did not attribute the blame to the shipowners; they had done pre- cisely what other traders bad done. But, if they allowed shipowners' profits to go on co the present scale, it would have been nesless to aek anybody to make facrifices in carrying on the
war.
The Chancellor then proceeded to give an account of the profits which he had made in certain shipping companies, and which, he said, be was ashamed of, as they were utterly disgraceful He had invested in 15 different shipping companies under the management of seven different OWLERT. They were all tramp steamers. The sum of money he invested was £8,110. Five per cent, on that in ordinary times, which he would have been'glad to gol, would bars bean £405 For the year 1915 he reasived 28.624; for the year 1916, he obtained: #8 847.

Mr. Baldwin, Lord of the Tieaenry, stated that the Govern ment had made up their mind that the time has come to ssy to shipowners that they had made enough profits and that they were going to be strictly controlled in the fature.
