PROTECTION OF BRITISH SHIPPING.

It is reported in the Japanese papers that since the war the Gov ernment of India, abusing the Ship- ping Control Acts, has been giving extremely bad treatment to Japanese 1 steamers. The British Government too, is intending to protect British shipping by issuing the Coast Trade Prohibition Lawe in Great Britain and the Colonies on all important lines, which are likely to fact foreign

The Sunset Studios in Los Angeles, whire Mary Pickford has been con verting Jean Webster's story of "Daddy Longlegs" into a film, has Presented some really remarkable sights-even for a film studio competition. The studio for the most part was invaded by an army of little orphans, haring the experience of their lives. They were everywhere-big orphans, tle crphans, fat ones, thin ones. Marshall Neilan, who was direct ing the film, treated those kids as if each and everyone of them was getting as much salary as Little Mary berself; and Mrs. Charlotte Pickford who is always pretty much on the jah around the studic, was mothering and fassing them around. It was feated there would be a collection of alled orphans, who would refuse to leave the studio when the picture was finished..

There is reason to believe tha: the Eritish delegates are going to insist on the adoption of this policy at the Peace Conference at Paris. In making these state ments the Japanese papers show their customary, ignorance of the matters they discuss, for the British Government claims no power of dictation of fiscal policy to the self- governing colonies. If these colonies! desire to develop a coasting service of their own they are at liberty to keep foreign ships from participation, but they are not very likely to do that. It is the Indian and Crown Colony shipping by which Japanese ships exist and which they may find! closed to them if Britain. changes her Charlie Chapli ecently received policy.

treatment of foreign shipping in Japan is bound to lead to retaliation, abroad. This is further indicated by other rumours and sileged telegramis from India to the effect that a special; discrimination will be made against Japanese subsidised lines. To meet this in advance, the Indian subsidy was comoudaged long ago by being Fa allotted to the other runs of the same companies! As for exclusiveness of coasting trade being embodied in the Peace Treaties, that is sheer nonsense. A resolution against such excly siveness is conceivable, but very un likely, and in such a matter as this every country will make its own. arrangements.
