London, April ft.—Americanisation
of the British mercantile navy will
again be the principal subject at “ques-
tion time” I nthe houae of commons
Monday. Members have given notice
of a dosen Inquiries covering a variety
of points indicative of widespread ap-
prehension that, despite assurances to
the contrary, shipping combine menace
not only Great Britain’s naval re-
sources, but her commercial Interests.
Further Information will be asked
of ministers as to whether*tlse British
companies enter the combine on pre-
cisely the same terms as the Ameri-
can and German llnea; whether Brit-
ish companies will be required to dis-
close terms of their agreement with
American syndicate, and whether obli-
gations of the White Star line to re-
cruit half its crews from royal naval
reserves will hold good, etc.
Pessimists refuse to credit assur-
ances that the Atlantic combine has no
ulterior design to sap the naval
strength of Great Britain*
Morgan is held up as a monster
dealing reeling blows to 111-organlzed
Brltlrh commerce and calmly organis-
ing earthquakes with designs to swal-
low up the world.
The St. James Gazette waiyts tho re-
enactment of .navigation laws, and
falls foul of airy indifference of the
president of the board of trade, Gerald
Balfour, as indicated by his replies in
the house of commons to questions on
the subject.
The Westminster Gazette takes a
calmer view. It thinks the combine
not eesentlal to the change of charac-
ter of British trade and saya;
“Whether Great Britain likes it or
not, trust movement is a part of the
evolution of modern business, and
there is little chance of reaistlng it
Shipping companies merely propose to
adopt a characteristic American or-
ganisation under the guidance of
Americans who are past masters in
that particular line of business.’’
As to how the combines shall be
compelled to regard public convenience
the Westminster Gazette finds legisla-
tion Ineffective and thinks there Is no
other corrective but enlightened sell
Interest of combines themselves.
