Herr Karl Lindemana, Presl dent of the North German Lloyd and a prominent Ogure in intertia tional shipping, has, proclaimed that Germany la prepared for in tornational co-operation in ship ping. Speaking in Berlin, 'Herr Lindemann admitted that the ex- periences in international econo mle and nancial conferences during recent years wore rather disconcerting. It was easier to get to an understanding in ship- ping, though, shipping being a strictly international affair.

Herr Lindemann staled that the crisis of International shipping was due to the disproportion In the trend of international trade and the development of the world's tonnage, While the volume of international trade

was by far lower than in pre-war times the world's merchant marino tonnage had risen from 47 million tona gross in 1913 to 67 millions

It was in the members' ruces that the greatest excitement prevailed, particularly in the 50 yards aggregate and the ladies event. Three heats were decided in the former and the winners were all awarded polats to be added to their aggregate for the season, no anal being decided. The competitor with the highest number of points gained will be declared the winner at the conclusion of the month- ly galas and will be presented with the J. R. Wood Cup.

While there was no possibility international of an impulse for shipping by a general trade revival Herr Lindemann seemed to be convinced that it would be possible to improve things by creating an international ander- standing about certain matters. An international shipping con- ference had to solve the following problems: reduction of the world's merchant marine tonnage`in ac- tordance with the demand of the world's market and passenger traffic, agreements on future con- structions of ships, agreements un subsidies, agreements on pas- Henger and freight rates and pool agreements.
