the case.

The representative pointed out that the address had created a very unfavourable impression among British shipping peo ple, that in some quarters the charges made were very strongly resented, British shipping companies concluding that cbviously they were the people referred to.

I do not see why British companies should fit the cap to their own hands," Mr. Denby observed.

It is not quite clear how they can do otherwise,” our representative suggested. The speech expressly excludes Japanese shipping companies from criticis, and it is senrcely likely that American com-. paules would act in direct opposition to their cwn interests. "As for other nationalities, the bulk of the carrying trade is largely in British bands, and the companies naturally infer that your criticista uust refer to them."

A smile and a slight shrug of the shoulders, was, the only immediate res pons. Anyone who will carefully read. and analyse the speech," Mr. Denby went on. after a pause, will see that it is not directed against the British any more than against any other nationality

When the defendant was called on Saturday the Magistrate asked if he had written to Singapore or to Shangbai.

to write.
