SURRENDER OF ENEMY SHIPS

Committee OF British Board of Trade
Declares for EIuni Treatment for
All Shipping After wnr.

LONDON. July 2S.-"we consider
that no peace would be satisfactory
which did NOT enforce the surrender OF
the enemy shipping and inflict drastic
and exemplary punishment for the
encmy's crimes at sea"

named by the Board of Trade. which
corresponds to the United States De-
partment OF Commerce, to consider
British shipping after the war

position will be potentially very strong.

sources unless our industry and our
export trade are to be seriously Grip
pied and we are to suffer the conse-
uuenccs that would attend our decline
to the level of n second rate maritime
power.
We cannot insist too strongly on
the overwhelming Importance of this
problem which. in our opinion, trans
ccnds every other problem in recon
struction."
The committee recommends that en-
envy shipping, when seized, should be
divided among the countries whose
shipping has suffered, or be sold so as
20 exclude enemy or neutral buyers.
The exclusion of enemy shipping
from ports of the British empire would
lie of little value to British shipping"

flags in all ports should therefore lie

policy"
This declaration is counter to the
stand of the British Seamen's Union
which declared boycott Of German
goods and ships because OF u-Doat
crimes.
