Argentina impost on Shipping.
A Liverpool shipping firm (ways the "Journal of Commerce" of September 2) has received a cable from their Biver Plate house to the effect that the Argentine Government in their new Budget propose that a freight tax of 50 cents gold (about 2s) par net re- gistered ton should be levied upon all vessels entering the Argen- tine ports. This will mean a very serious impost on both liners and cargo boats under the British fag trading regularly with the Plate. As all liners are requisi- tioned, and 97 per cent, of cargo boats, the expense will fall al- most wholly upon the GoverTM ment,, ie. the public funds. Furthermore, there is the danger of such a tex continuing after war conditions are over, which would materially influence steam- ahip owners earnings. We un- derstand that the matter has been brought before the attention of the Shipping Controller and of the Chamber of Shipping. To continue such a heavy tax, it is though by msay, would prove à boomerang policy for the Argen- tine Government to adopt, ínas. much as vessels in the grain trade would be diverted to centres other than the Argentine. The development of our colonies after

that will be made to create a larger surplus of grain for export will prove the rock upon which such a policy would break if an attempt was made to continue the impost when peace conditions obtain.
