WHY BRITONS TRAVEL H.K. VOLUNTEER DEFENCE CORPS. "FOREIGN"

Irksome Restrictions On Lines To The East

British Passenger shipping to the East is suffering acutely from foreign competition. An increasing number of British passengers, in- cluding civil and military officers' whose passages are paid by, the Government, travel to and from India on Italian vessels. Occa- lonally an Italian liner lands at Bombay more British passengers, than the weekly mail steamer un- der our own flag.

The effects of this are doubly serious now that passenger traffic is stack. One of our principal

It may be argued that passen- gers are not profitable on the in- termediate class of vessel, such as

There must be reason for this preference for To travelling by foreign lines. begin with, there is the Briton's anxiety to give the foreigner a square deal, which may be carried so far as to grant him proference.

Immediately after the war, when the only Italian and German vea- sels trading East were small and uncomfortable, Italians and Ger- mans travelled by them, and took pride in the fact that, although those ships were not the best they sailed under their own dag, and were not obliged to pay a foreigner to take them home.

However, that trait of ours is a minor reason for the popularity of foreign lines: The British tra- veller says, "If an Italian ship or a Jap offers me better value for money, I'll travel by her." The foreign competitor offers him a free cinema, occasionally free wine, its stewards are more courteous and obliging, and it imposes fewer irksome restrictions.
