British Government Plans 70 Take
Over Vessels Now in Foreign Ports.
Correspondence of Associated Press0
London, April 16-1t is probable that
a large number Of British steamers IN
foreign ports will be taken over by the
government owing to the scarcity OF
suitable steamers in this country.
It is stated by admiralty officials
that British vessels are avoiding the
United Kingdom, owing to the prob
ability Of their being taken over for
government purposes. and such ships
will now be Communicated wherever
they may be. as necessity arises. The
shipowner at present rates can, make
about three times as much profit on
the open market as thru lease to the
government.
The British navy Is still actively en-
gagged at Gibraltar in stopping steamers
bound for ports in the Mediterranean
and vessels meet with considerable de-
lays.
Special attention Is being paid to
steamers having their cargoes or por-
lions Of their cargoes assigned to
Switzerland One case posted recently
on the Baltic Exchange was Of q
steamer which had been detained at
Gibraltar 105 days before she was al
lowed to proceed.
Shipowners are not taking the pre-
caution to stipulate that II any cargo
Is destined to Switzerland It must be
consigned to the Swiss government.
