Mr.. Chamberlain's powerful speech on Tuesday
on the Merchant Shipping Bill is intended as an ap

Chamberlain's friends say that he regards the bill
as 50 seriously weakened by the concessions as
hardly to be worth carrying he is satisfied that
il cannot in tins shape be carried this year,
as the shlpowners are still bitterly opposing it.
Hence, Mr.. Chamberlain has resumed his old
aggressive tone
