LONDON. April 24-In the House Of

arising. such as the suggested
combination.
When the present form Of agreeme,
VAS settled upon no trade combinations
under foreign control were contemplated.
but the admiralty had appointed a COM
mittee TO consider and report upon the pur-
pose and form Of the future subsidy agree
ments. The admiralty in the meanwhile
had made arrangements with the White
Star line which precluded the possibility
Of any Of their armed cruisers or merchant
steamers being transferred 10 foreign
gag without the consent OF the admiralty
curing the unexpired portion Of the sd-
miralty agreements.
Important legal points were involved, in
oluding the questions whether IN the event
Of war there was anything to prevent these
companies from substituting a foreign for
the British flag and whether the admiralty
has the means OF enforcing Its rights Of
pre-emption or hire in such case, or II by
abandoning the subsidies the companies
could claim that the right Of pre- Exemption
ceased. All such points would be care
fully considered and the additional sd-
mirRlty's rights would be ascertained.
II was said this afternoon that the pres
ent uncertain position Of the Cunsrd and
other steamship companies in standing out
from the Atlantic combine was to some ex-
tent due TO the action Of the admiralty, as
outlined by Mr.. Arnold-Forster in the House
OF Commons today.

holders might have an opportunity to re-
cord their wishes as to an extension OF
the voting trust. The circular contains
the following
''The events of the past eighteen months
in connection with railroad properties
have revealed the danger to which cor
porate properties are exposed, of the
control of their stock being bought up in
the market by purchasers not identified
with the property or permanently inter-
ested in its development and improve
lnent Therefore we do not hesitate TO
state that in our opinion it is decidedly
for the interests of the stockholders
of the Southern Railway to protect their
property by an extension OF the voting
trust until negotiations now pending for
the further development and strengthen
ing OF its lines shall be settled beyond
any risk of being overturned and until
the completion of other negotiations now
pending in regard to the transportation
interests in the Southern States which
have an important bearing upon the in
terests of the Southern Railway Com
