There is reason To believe. however.
says The Manchester Guardian" that
the Cunard company. which is largely

arrangement. and that the Atlantic Con-
ference. therefore. is not threatened
with disruption. although tho previous
rate war was initiated by the Conti-

on the Cunard Line when IT began the
service which is now the subject Of dis

In another direction, however. there is
danger for the steerage agreement, which
