Major Martin Archer-Shee, Unionist,

ing fact that he had neglected TO carry out
the recommendations OF his own commit
tee"
Charges OF slumberlng dilatOriness, abso-
lutte neglect and uncOncern were hurled al
the Board OF Trade by various speakers.
Lord Charles Beresford bitterly com
piained that the Board Of Trade had not
attempted to carry out its own regula-
tons until after the Titanic tragedy. lie
demanded the appointment of new ad-
yisorv committee TO the Board Of Trade
whose object should be TO render ships
