pearedAt a meeting of the conference in
London May with the proposal that
the ships of the line should be classified
in tiif& country or else an arbitration
comrMttee should be appointed to meet
here 4G adjust disagreenents with the
conference classifcations. This was
against all traditional procedure. as
even before the war, in the days of the
old North Atlantic pool. in which the
German lines were the preponderant
factors. rates and classifcations were
dccidsd in London.
Under current conditions, the confer

contrary agreed to give it full consider
