ed, the Company had been making

it its policy lately to conduct its business with increased spirit of co- operation with its confreres, numer- ons understandings having been arrived at with the other steamship interests, with a view to avoiding a ruinous rate war. He was glad to observe that the leading steam- ship lines were inclined to a similar attitude, and that the spirit of co-operation was generally the order of the day in the shipping world.

MERCANTILE MARINE

OFFICERS.

OVERCROWDED PROFESSION.

The Marine Department of the Board of Trade has under icon- sideration the problem of uneme ployment among certificated

officers of the British Merchant Service.

When the war broke out large numbers of officers of the Mercan- tile Marine were called-up for service under the Admiralty. When they sought to go back to the Mercantile Marine they were, in many cases, unable to do so. because their places had been filled by officers cortificated during war time. In some instances the officers who served under the Admiralty had their civil posts kept open for them. But in so far as the effect upon the labour market went the result was the same in either case. There were two men for each job..

The position was made worse by the "slump" in shipping which followed the war. This has now been overcome and tonnage is be ing freely employed again. But if every British-owned vessel were chartered there would still be many Mercantile Marine officers out of work as the supply is much in ex cess of any possible demand

As one means of adjustinu matters it is suggested that all examinations for certificates should be suspended until the numbers of qualified officess is brought within the limits of the Morohant Service's Yoquirements. It is polited out that the service itself would not suffer because there are plently of
