BRITISH PRESS YEXED
English Deal With Morgan Worries
Some London Newspapers.
SUBSIDY FOR CUNARD LINE.
THOSE Engaged In Planning Fast
canadian Steamship Service Fear
That the Governments Action
Will Hamper Their Efforts,

London, Oct. 2.-The comments of
the afternoon newspapers on the ship
ping agreements between the British
government and the Cunard line and
Atlantic shipping combine are by no
means SO self congratulatory as those
OF the morning papers.
There is nothing to crow about ;,
says the st. James Gazette. I'VE Day
handsomely to keen tn. C--.-A 80. =
ana the deal with the Morgan-flrf1e
concern is a very rickety business -
is specious but we regard 1t WHIP con
siderable doubt. Nothing is said about
preferential rates. and since the con
troll of the whole affair may be vested
in a board exclusively Yankee we IAN
to see any great value in the supposed
safeguards.
"The most amazing provision is that
whereby if MIR. Morgan attempts to in
ture our trade we can punish him by
permitting him to place his ships under
American control, under the stars and
stripes. and by relieving him OF the
obligation to carry British officers and
seamen."
The Westminster Gazette asks.
what is Mr. Morgan's quid pro quo!'
and says it thinks there must be some
compensatory agreement by which
rates cannot be cut as between the
Cunard line and the combine.
The Westminster Gazette also says it
considers the governments financing
by loan a private enterprise like the
Cunard line is wholly objectionable
Those engaged in the negotiations

While these are not likely to be aban-
doned. it is pointed out that Canada

The Agreements.
While the Cunard company by means
OF Il loan and subsidy il put in posi-
ton to fight for its share of the bust
ness of the north Atlantic, the govern
meht has also entered into an agree
ment with Mr.. Morgan by which for
twenty years British ships in the com

of British men and will be available
in an emergency for the British govern.

The announcement of the arrange
ment was big surprise. While the air
has been full Of rumors concerning an
arrangement between the government
and the Cunard company. there was
apparently no suspicion that any deal

syndicate.
