Victory

TRACK RECORD. LOWERED TWICE AGAINST AUSTRALIA

(By G. T. Burrows)

London, June 21.

England defeated Australia by 58 points to 48 in the second Speedway Test match at Ney Cross Stadium last night, thus each sido has now won one contest..

Eric Langton, the new leader of theEnglish team, gave his side an inspiring start by winning the opening heat in 61.6sec. to equal the clutch start record for the circuit, and England, at the of the first nine of the 18 beats, held an advantage of 11 points with the score 32-21 in their favour.

After having obtained maximum paints in the first race, England Increased their lead in the second hent, in which Tom Farndon, the local rider, achieved a record- breaking ride in 61.4 sec., but the Englishman did not hold the record for long, as Vie Huxley, the famous Australian captain, won the fourth heat in 61.2 sec.

GERMAN GESTURE

International

Co-operation

in Shipping

By A Berlin correspondent.'" Herr Karl Lindemann, Presi dent of the North, German Lloyd and a prominent guro in interna- tional shipping, has proclaimed that Germany is prepared for in- tornational co-operation in ship ping. Speaking in Berlin, Herr Lindemann admitted that the ex- periences in international econo mle and financial conferences during recent years were rather disconcerting. It was easier to get to an understanding in ship ping, though, shipping being a atrictly international affair.

Herr Lindemann stated 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 marine tonnage had risen from 47 million tone gross in 1913 to 67 millions

Herr Lindemann then spoke about the special difficulties of Germany's shipping. The interna- tional currency depreciations were making thinge worse. for German shipping. About 89 per cent of the North German Lloyd's Income consisted payments in de- preciated money while by far the greatest amount of expenses had to be effected in German money. Only for 1983 there was a loss of 28 million marks on account, of this disproportion and the com- pany, expected a further loss of 30 million marks for the current year. The German shipping com- Panies could proudly credit them- selves with their work and ex- cellent achievements in after-war days. In 1920 the German, mer- chant marine consisted of 128,000 tons gross and in 1930, ten year later, there were again 2,200,000 tons gross sailing under the Ger- man merchant Ing.

While there was no possibility of an impulse for International 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 cordance with the demand of 'the world's market and passenger traffic, agreements on future con- structions of ships, agreements on subsidies, agreements on pas- pool senger and freight rates and agreements.
