Concerning the protests, which have been raised in shipping circles against the high dues charged on vessels using the Suez Canal, it is reported from Norway that two Norwegian ships with cargo from the East have just been sent to Europe by way of the Cape Instend of possing through the Suez Canal. The charterers found that in the prosent situation of the market, it

Sir Roger, in proposing the tonst of the Tenth Cruiser Squadron, coupled with the French Navy, paid tribute to Sir Dudley and Sir Reginald, and said the gathering was composed of a great number of naval and Naval Reserve officers who manned the vessels which exer- cised the blockade that played no small part in the victory of the

As to the suggestion made in the House of Commons that assistance should be granted to British ship- ping out of the State receipts on its shareholding in the Suez Canal, Lord Merrivale added that the Mr. Paust

He advocated bringing the matter be- fore the League of Nations as the Suez Canal was an important aid in international communication and of great importance to shipping, trada and industry both in Europe and in Asia and Australia.

The Court of Inquiry into the loss of the Highland Hope, which struck a reef off Farilnoes Islands in November, found that the stranding was due to the failure of the Master to navigate the ship in a proper and seniman-like manner.

It suspended his licence for six months.

The Court also considered that the Second. Officer was remiss in his duties.

Proceeding, Sir Roger said that history provided many examples of blockade in the days of sail-close blockade and strategic blockade baged the prevailing winds, blockades which were conducted under conditions of incredible hard- ships with acamanlike ability, for- titude and patience. In the Amer- ican Civil War close blockade was
