particulars in order to present his
claims as soon as possible.

while most anxious to satisfy all
claims as promptly as possible. 1t is
obvious that the process of arriving al
a speedy settlement is delayed by the
necessity of establishing the real own

shipper to consignee and who is the
right person to receive payment. The
question il complicated by the fact that
the Swedish consignees of a number OF
