Mearwhile printed copies of the presi- Gential address were distributed. In it he urged the improvement of the London docks, on the lines of those at' New’York, and at Hamburg, and said he believed the British, on even terms, were well able to hold their own in ' industrial struggles. Dealing with the shipping combine, Lord Brassey said it was idle to éxpect or claim a monopoly of the North At lantic. It was cértaln soOner “or - later that some movement similar to that inquated by J. P. Morgan would he brought about by the United States. “Let us not sacrifice our national dig- nity in unavaillng and groundless alarms,” the address continued. “‘Our pesitionh as a maritime nation is assured beyohd the reach of competition, and we shall hold our position against all cor ers, because we build ships more cheap- Iy ‘and, with or without forelgn crews, sail them more cheaply than any of our rivals.” + Lord Brassey admitted, however, that the British shipbuilders must look to their laurels in the construction of ocean ‘‘greyhounds” of the Hamburg- American line steamer Deutschland | type, and urged more liberal subsidies for mail-carrying. He concluded with re- ferring to the desirability of an imperial customs union, and touched upon the in- creasing friendship between Great Britain end the United States.
