Society and former chief of the Statistical
Department of the Board of Trade, tes
trying to-day before the House of Com

said the changes in the position of Brit
ish shipping. compared with those OF
other countries was due largely to cir
cumstances apart from Substitution.
There had been diminunition Of British
progress, while elsewhere, especially In
Germany there had been great advance.
The number Of American-oWn ships
sailing under the British flag. quite apart
from those with the combine recently
formed. had largely increased and was
still increasing and he regarded 1t as
obvious that, notwithstanding the fact
that the White Star Line steamers We're
sailing under the British flag, the United
States Government regards them as be-
ing American vessels and would be pre-
pared to defend them as the property of
American citizens.
Sir Robert also said he regarded sub
sides to be a political, rather than
economic question.
