SHIPPING AND THE EMPIRE
TYPES OF SHIPS AND THEIR (M-!
PERIAL TRADE ACTIVITIES,
III.
(BY COMMANDER U, RUNDLE, D.S.)
"These articles do not aim at being any. thing more than elementary. Their object is to interest the public in what may bo described as the Keystone of our Imperial structure-Shipping and to show that our tende codust be ccosidered to be flourish ing if a large portion of merchant ton uage is idle and if ships which are employed have not full cargoes.
Geography, if taught in the light of co- merce and shipping, becomes delightful aubject. The romance of the sen then colours what might otherwise be dull subject or what, at least, is unfortunately so regarded by many of the young. Bring in the sea and all is change. Take children down to the docks and show them the various types of vessels: tell them the kind of cargues they bring home; describe the countries from which the cargoes have come, In short, paint pictures in place of present- ing dry and uninteresting facts. Then will coinoa realisation of what the sea and coin- merce mean to ourselves and to our Empire Viowed from this standpoint the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley next year may be described as a vast Imperia! school.
The management of shipping is a bighly specialised business. Ships, in order to pay their way, must be designed to meet the conditions of the localities in which i it is proposed that they should trace. Conser tions of
δι of speed, and many other factors vary

It will be appreciated from what has been said that the prostable working of both intermediate steamers and cargo liners depends, to a very great extent, ona iegular aniount of cargo being available at the porta of call. The business organisation necessary to ensure full holds must be of a very high standard. Discharging a
4. portion of their cargoes at each of the outward ports of call, they fill op gain on the homeward journey, to discharge finally at one or more of the howe terminals.

Merchant shipping has, therefore, come to be divided into four distinct types. There aru, of course, variants of these types, but broadly speaking & merchant vessel one be classified as either a passenger steamer, an intermediate steamer, a cargo liner or tramp.

We are justly proud of our great passenger linera. On the other hand, it seems that, owing to their doings, their appointments and their millionaire freights being what, in journalistic circles, is described as “good copy, the public. has become somewhat

Fobsessed type to the neglect of the

less showy types. In saying
Perhaps more useful other
reflection is on the companies that apecialise in lovisthians -the White Star and the Canard. In
ter for building them they enter special purpose, in which luxury and high speed are essential. But it will not be gained that it is the smaller passenger liners and the intermediate liners which form the links of Empire as far as the carrying of human freight is concerned.
L
In this connection certain companies have had Imperial associations extending over a long periol. There are, to mention a few: the Peninsular and Oriental, whose ships will always be associated with India, the Aberdeen Line, so intimately connected with the history of Australia; and the Union Castle, a household word in South Africa. The fleet of the first named and its
allied company -the British India includes

liners, intermediate atcamers and liners; the Aberdeen Line ig whilst the Union constitution to the P. and O. Another well-known company, the. Royal Mail, has been associated with the West Indies for nearly ninety years, having received its Röyal Charter in 1839, or one year earlier than the P. and O. Company.
In spanking of links of Empire reference must also be rule to that great Canadian concern, the Canadian Fucile Railway Company, whose line steamers not only bridge the Atlantic, but form an extension to the Western termius of the great trane continental railway as far as Hong kong. This Company has recently acquired the feat of the Allan Line, which, for nearly a century, had been closely identified with the development of Canada C.P.R's ocean fleet now consists of 35 vessels, linking Canada with Europe, Asia, the Oricat anil Australasia..

INTERCOURSE IN PERSON AND BY LETTER_
It is the mail and passenger steamers of the above mentioned Companies and others, which maintain the flow of correspondence and of human beings between the various purts of the Empire. Mail subsidies and full passenger lists provide the means by which such vessels may be run at a profit. Cargo is but incidental
SE Intermediato steamers, on the other hand, although they also carry passengers, rely mainly on the freight chtainable from car- go as the means of profit. The advantage to the shipper-of perishable goods especial- ly-of a line of steamers which schedule with almost the punctuality of railway trains, is obvious. If, added, to this, the speed of transit is fairly high, there is the advantage of getting the goods on the overseas markets in arople time and in good condition.

The number of Companies that work this type of vessel is large, land generally speak- ing it may be said that they have built up regular clientele. Some, of course, carry to this country particular cargoes for which their vessels are specially fitted, as for ox- ample, frozen meat and fruit, whilat on the outwari) vorner, they, in common with others convey manufactured goods.
"It's personality is very real to me," added the Dean. "The predominant feature is kinda. In my mind, the American face, which has formed itself
always kindly eyes. The mouth is some- times hard, the chin sometimes tells of flmost ruthless pushing through to Bucos. But the eyes are kind, and this kindnota is reflected in endless courtesion of which American social life in full.”
Cargo liners also run to schedule, but no the terms suggests, their work in practically entirely devoted to cargo carrying. Thesu vessels are analogous to the fast traion of the railway world.
gooda Like the in- termediate steamers, some of them are devot ed to special trades on the homeward voyage. Their regularity also appeals to shippers, although their average speed is generally less than that of the intermediate) steamers.
DEBTS OWING TO
BRITAIN.
In the House of Commons on March 25th, Major Boyd-Carpenter (Financial Secretary to the Treasury) informed Mr. Jowett that the amount of the soms owed by foreign Governments to this country on account war loans and loans for relief and reconstruc tion on March 31st, 1923, was £2,017,218,253. As regards the greater part of the debt, interest had been added to capital and ad- ditional bonds obtained. Apart from Russia (including America) no Government had actually defaulted, though correspondence was proceeding with Serbia and Poland as regards delivery of bonds,
