Question of High Freight Rates, Some criticism of English ship ping companion is appearing in the English press and is resulting in considerable discussion se to whether the conditions warrant. the prevailing high ocean freight- rates. A. C. F. Henderson of the Anchor Line, in a letter appear. ing in the Liverpool Journal of Commerce, explains the position of the steamship linee and the Causes of the high freight rater, Mr. Henderson in his latter says: "It might be opportune to correct be generally current, that under the impression, which seems to
government charter ship owners
are making large profie, The
reverse is rather the case,” 89 with the rates very much lega than those presently current the ship owner would fare very mach boiter than he does under government employment, espe aially seeing the present uncer tainty regarding rates of hire. The present-day liner is, even under favourable circumstances, an expensive vessel, both to build and operate, and while it is im- portant that the liner tonnage be maintained running, it is impos sible to do this without serious loss unless a certain income can be maintained. In this connection it isimportant to note that by for the largest share of income to the liner is made from passenger bu- siness, a source which has to all intente and purposes disappeared since the commencement of the war, and is likely to remain in that state until some considerable time after peace is declared. Er- penses do not cease while steamers are awaiting berths, and a delay of ten days, which is the minimum | Uunder present conditions méane.

an addition of from £100 to £1,500 to the voyage expenses, according to the size and value of the ateamer. The above are some of the aspects from the ship owner's point of view, and while I admit that the price of freights has risen, although not in proportion to the rise in expenses, you can. not overcome, however much yon talk, the law of supply and de- mand. Theorists may thecriss and professors and others suggest various schemes of betterment, but the law of supply and demand will rule the world's shipping so long as there is shipping on the world's seas.
