"It munt be obvious that the White Star Company cannot go on operating-it is losing money all the time without something drastic being done. Wha form this will take I am unable to state at the moment, but strenuous efforts are heing made to protect the goodwill of this world-famous shipping line." Mr. Walter Runciman, M.P., mada this statement at the annual meet | ing of the White Star line, the £6.000.000 company which was con- trolled by Lord Kylsant, at Southern House, Cannon Street, E.C.

Hisses and applause greeted the announcement by Mr. Runciman that Lord Kylsant had resigned the chairmanship of the company.

The directors recognised that the book value of the company's fleet was in excess of present-day values, and that the value of the shares in subsidiary and associated steamship companies was also substantially in excess of their real value.

Mr. Hoarce Samuel, a shareholder, moved the rejection of the accounta on the ground that they did not dia- close the real position.
