in 1920, however, the United States Shipping Board, which is a department of as United States Uovernment, ex- tended its operations to the Mediterran eau and asked to be allowed to put in a tender. This was agreed to, but its offer was higher than that of the Liverpool Conference Lines, which again were awarded the 'contract. "
In May this year, tenders were called for the carrying of this year's cotton erop by the Alexandria General Produce Aociation, which always acts us agent for the cotton exporters with the steam- ship companies, Separate, offers were asked for transportation to the United Kingdom and to America, as well as a combined offer for both countries.

It was intimated through the American Consul that if the contract made by the Conference Lines
with the exporters were allowed to stand, the United States Government would put into operation those clauses of the Jones Shipping Act which empower the Secretary of Com: merce to refuse the right "of entry into any American port to ships owned or operated by any person who has been guilty of unfair tactics against American shipping interests.
!i
The American Government having thus taken up the question, the Liverpool Conference Lines referred it to the Re sidency, and it was handled by the Foreign Office and the State Department at Washington.
In answer to the complaints of the Shipping Board, the following facts have been pointed out. The contract is not finally awarded by the Alexandria Gene ral Produce Association, which is meraly an agent to call for tenders, and the Con- ference Lines simply followed their usual practice in securing the signature of the axporters. The spinners, too, have a say in the matter, and they were prepared to pay the bs, extra to the United King- dom-the only difference in the contracta -in order to continue working with the lines which had done the work so satis factorily in the past. Also the in. dil ferenco would have been swallowed up in higher insurance charges required for American bottoms, in extra docking and transport charges, since the Shipping Board have no regular berths in Great, Britain, while a division of the contract would have involved higher cost. Of the three clauses complained, of in the (Continued at foot of next 'columns-J

RELIGION'S DEADLY · DULNESS,
The Rev. Samuel Horton, of London, was elected tas president at the 102nd annual conference of the Primitive Methodist Church, which was opened at Sheffield. In his address he said: In view of the present world situation, with the cheapening of human life, the open- ing of the floodgates of impurity, and the defiance of 1l law, the Church needed to recover the Apostolic fervour. Children were being born into the world crippled in body and brain, and many's genera tion to come would pay the price, of the slump in national purity. It was impos- sible for the Church to make any com- promise with the drink trade. Between Primitive Methodism and the trade it must be war to tho knife. The reason why they had no conversions in many churches was that there was nobody in them to convert. They were coddling saints instead of converting sinners. Ninety per cent. of the time, money, and energy of the Church was being devoted to conservating what they had already got. Churches should cease to be hos Pitals for dyspeptio Christians, and be come training schools for cadets in Christ's army. Primitive Methodism WAK weak and ancemic for want of fresh air, and religion was dying pf deadly dullness. Conference had made co-operation with In regard to Church unity the Lambeth
