THE CHINA MAIL,

At a conference of Swedish ship- owners held in Stockholm much at-j tention was aroused by a paper read by M. Emil Lofgren on the problem of ald and excessive ton- ninge. This problem of old ton- nage, M. Lofgren said, had its ori-1 gin in the unprecedentedly high demand for transport during the war years and the ruthless, dos- truction, causing more losses of} tonnage than were ever seen be- fore. The result of this was n forced activity in new construc- tion, while the. 'extraordinarily high freight rates also gave an in- centive to the building of new ves- sels.

The present situation of the de-

1. Liner shipping systematically replaces its old and unsuitable ves-] sels by new and modern tonnage, yet the old ships are not scrapped. but rather sold, in order to be used by their new owners in the tramp trade or for the purpose of erent- ing competing lines.

2. The liner.companies set them- elves methodically to work in order to extend their traffle and in this way they are constantly en- trenching upon the sphere of the tramp trade.
