Sept. 11-That Great Brit ain intends to insist upon having 2.25O, 900 tons of the 3,OOo,OOO tons of German shiplGng to be divided among the Allies by the reparation commits sion after the ratification of peace is the statement made to the Daily Mail by an official of the Ministry of ship ping, who added that the position was
 delicate and complicated, and that intricate. international negotiations were yet to be competed. Neverthe-
 less. he was confident that Great
 Britain ultimately would obtain ap- proximately what she demanded
 Even then her loss in shipping during the war would exceed 5,0OO.OO tons.
 Discussing complaints by the British ocean-c carrying trade that other coun- tries were benefiting at Great Brit aims expense through the allocatiOn
 of ships surrendered by the armistice,
 the official said this was the fortune of war The Americans. he added, undoubtedly came out very well on paper. but it should be remembered that the ships in question were pas senger ships and consequently bulked larger in the public mind than the cargo ships. Great Britain had a very large fleet of former German cargo carriers actively employed.
