Superficially regarded, the fall-in the proportion of British-owned to total tonnage, as compared with the position 14 years ago, might be taken as evidence of impaired com- petitive power of British shipping. It must be borne in mind, however, that Lloyd'e Register includes in its returns the tonnage of all vessels. whether In commission or laid up. Not less than 4 million tons of American shipping can be deducted from the world total as incapable, under normal conditions, of com- peting effectively in the freight mar ket, while a high proportion of the tonnage belonging to the lesser maritime nations is appr ing de ||mise through obsolescence.
