Cheapening of trans-ocennie passages by liner is so desirable in the interests of international neighbourliness that the scheme recently put forward for establish- ing a low rate for the Atlantic voyage should not be allowed to drop. The British Government has refused offcial support for a scheme to set up a £10 rate lest there should requr such wasteful competition with existing steänier companies aa' that which came to an end last year with the com- pletion of the Cunard-White Star merger, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, British Chancellor of the Ex chequer, in announcing this in the House of Commons at Westminster on November 28, did not suggest any alternative cheap-fare scheme, though very useful possibilities of Improved intercourse across the Atlante might be expected to develop from such reform.
