Throughout the year under re- view we have maintained our re- gular mail, passenger and freight services between this country and the Continent and West Africa.

Our regular bi-monthly service from Cardiff to West Africa has been continued, and will be aug mented if this should be warranted by the needs of the trade. We have also carried on our.regular services between New York and West Africa and between Canada and South African ports Last year it was found necesary to augment the) Ballings from New York from one every fortnight to ond every 10 days and, towards the end of the year, a weekly service was institut- ed, but as the trade did not con.. tinue to warrant weekly sailings, 10-day intervals have now been re- verted to.
