ENGLAND AROUSED | Robertson, Giants® Heavy BY TONNAGE I1SSUE Way Covernment I Handling, Shipping Question Criticised (Correspondence of The Asscclated Press.) | & London, Jan 21.—The question of | tonnage under the British mercantile | flag is causing a good deal of anxiety. A week or two ago, an unoffici nouncement was made that might be resumed on mcrcantile ship- bullding in various yards of Gres “Britain but so far no official confi mation has been received and fro the meagre reports regarding govern- ment orders in several yards it scems that there is very little liklihnod of transference of any quantity of work- men from government to private cdn- tracts in the near future. As about one-fifth of the total mer- cantile tonnage of the country is com- mandeered for admiraliy vurnos<es, and during the four wecks ending De- cember 8, fortysnine vessels were sunk, in addition to the alrcady iarze losses, it will be seen {hat there is only a comparatively smail margin of boats left for carrving the country’ trade. Prices Have Advanced. In addition the cost of the few ves- sels now being completed has in- creased considerably since the orig contracts were placed, owing to continued rise in prices of raw - terial, the difficulty of transporting the material, and higher wages demanded Ly workmen. Neutral countries have not been slow in taking advantage of these con- ditions, and are placing orde for ! boats in most available yarc s well as buying up second hand tonnage at increasing prices. Much Adverse Criticism. The way in which the government is handling the shipping question has | caused much adverse criticism from | ship owners for some time past and | these were emphasized in the house of ! commons this week by several ship- ping members. One deprecated the | management of a fleet of two thou- sand requisitioned ships by the divid- ed authority of the admiralty and the _board of trade, and advocated the pointment of a body of expert shi owners to deal with details in a bus- iness-like manner which could only be done by people with knowledge ac- quired by, vears of experience. Ship- owners have divided the trade of the globe into many parts, = combining | outward with homeward voyages, and | ¢ it was a serious matter for the govern- ment to interfere with the fleets. the requisitioned tonnage been prop- |y erly handled there would not have| been such a rise in freights. President of the board of trade Runciman admitted that there was not enough tonnage to go round owing | o, to the enormous number of boats re- ‘guired to conduct the supply services of Great Britain and her allies, and for the necessary carriage of muni- tions. It must be remembered that the government was employing a fleet three times the size of the whole Ger- man mercantile marine put together. Mr. Balfour’s Views. Mr. Balfour for the admiralty be- lieved that there had been a good deal of misapprehension, and talked in very much the same strain but did not see how the transport business could be controlled by a central department of shipowners. E On the question of state control of the entire mercantile shipping hc ar- gued that in view of the enorn:ous dif- ficulties in the way, they would have to be very cautious before coming to any decision. On the other hand the opposite thcory of leaving the mier- chant fleet entirely free was not a | possibility under war conditions. Mr. Balfour said that the munitions bill (which had been delayed) includ- ed measures to encourage the indus- try of building mercantile tonnage and provided that under certain cir- cumstances this construction would be carried on as war work. Every | day of delay to such a bill delayed | the completion of merchant ships, di- the e h i v None Better On Tap at Taps in this Vicinity: as one glass will conclusively prove.
