In spite of war losses, etc., Great Britain and Ireland still own one-third of the world's sea-going steam and motor top- nage and over half as much again as their nearest rival, the United States (much of! whose tornage will cever take the sea again as a commercial proposition).

THE DECLINE OF FREIGHT KATËS.- Since the termination of the war the difficulties attached to international fin- ance, labour troubles, and many other contingencies have considerably impeded the progress of reconstruction, and these factors have naturally interfered with trade and commerce generally. Further more, the large volume of tonnage con- structed during the war, and also the large number of vessels released on ces sation of hostilities, have created a supply far in excess of present requirements. Freight rates have, in consequence, de clined with rapidity, and on business

SEA HOPEFPUL VIEW,

It is not my wish to be prophetic, but, nevertheless, I feel that British ship- owners to-day have an organisation, which is on a par with that of shipowners of any other nation, and as 2003 AS A TO vival in international trade comes about the opportunities offered by reason of our many foreign interests will give our ship- owning community chances of far greater value than those which will be at the command of other nationale Conditions must ard will improve, and as ship owners in this country have thoroughly reorganised their interests so as to afford the maximum of protection during the times of great stress with which they, have been confronted. I have the convic tion that they are more than ever quali- fied to maintain their prestige, in spite of the efforts which might be made by other countries to wrest from us the trade routes which have known our fing for a long period of yours

Trade, however, will not, and cannot, revive until the prolonged and uncertain political situation has been properly ad- justed. A restoration of internationst confidence is absolutely imperative, qtherwise, the task of finding a sound and lusting basis of economic adjustment will continue to remain uncompleted. While such conditions remain,- however, the trade of the world bound to more slowly but notwithst

any other Power. Although the present times are bad, and the future uncertain, British shipowners have devotedi" con- siderable attention to the improvement and development of tonnage. The volume of interest displayed in the installation of the Diesel engite na a unit of marine power confirms this statement, and seema to point out that, whatever the future may bold, we are determined to enter the world's markets with first-class material, capable of ensuring a high standard of efficiency, so that it will continue to re main a credit to the flag under which it sails.
