SHIP COMBINE NOT HARMFUL
Englishman Who Says Morgan Syndicate
Need Not Be Feared.
HEAD OF GREAT SHlPBUlLDlNG CONCERN
Combination VIII Be n Good Thing
by stimulating other Ship D.
Owners to Keep More
Abreast OF the Times.

LONDON, July S.-The committee Of the
House Of Commons appointed to inquire
into the question OF subsidies today heard
William ]. Pirrie, chairman Of the Harland
& Wolff Shipbuilding company.
This witness, who figured so prominently
in the recent j. P. Morgan shipping COM
bination, expressed the opinion that sub
sides were given merely as a bounty and
serve to encourage ineficiency and that
even where they could be legitimately be-
slowed the tendency of subsidies would be
to foster individual as against general in
t~erests. Mr.. Pirrie regarded foreign sub
sides as a blessing In disguise, as they
stimulated other s~hipowners to keep more
abreast of the times.
Replying to a question Of the chairman,
Mr.. Pirrie said the Morgan combine. which
he proceeded to call a community OF in
terests," was established purely for COM
mercial purposes and on entirely business
principles. He was convinced that a dan
gerous international system was rapidly
approaching at the time the deal was ef-
fected, but by the creation of this COM
munity of interests, the future >of British
| shipping, as we'll as of British shipbuild-
ing, was assured.
In short, MI. Pirrie considered the dea
to be in every way satisfactory to the
British. Giving subsidies would only in
vite retaliation in the most important
markets OF the world. The extent Of statC
assistance to German shipping was greatly
exaggerated.
Mr.. Pirrie also said that the feeling
against the combination was due to mis-
apprehension. All they had been doing
was to act on the advice Of the prince o
Wales, when he said England must wak'
up" Mr.. Pirrie thought the best way To-
the government to help British shippint
was TO deepen the approaches TO anC
otherwise improve the chief ports.
