BRITISH SHIPS WILL BE WARNED

IN TIME IF WAR BREAKS OUT

Plan Covers Every Inch

IF

Of Ocean

war breaks out every British merchant and ** passenger ship, no matter where she be, will be warned in time to avoid danger areas.

Such is a plan compiled by the Director of Sea Transport at the Board of Trade, co-operating with the Chamber of Shipping and the Liverpool Steam- ship Owners' Association.

These two organisations, representing the majority of British ships engaged in overseas and coastal trade, will fake an active part in the scheme.

Detailed statements will be sent to a special department at the Board of Trude every fortnight giving the present and prospective positions of every one of their ships.

An official of the Chamber of Shipping said: "The idea will mean that a central organisation will have the position of every British vessel at its finger-tips, so that in time of war warnings will be issued much more quickly than if each individual company were responsi- bic.

"The board will also know the exact amount of tonnage available."

The board is determined to make the scheme fully effec- tive as soon as possible, and iş anxious that all firms, no matter how small, shall co-operate.
