Peninsular and Orient Co leader warns on postwar ships
At the annual meeting Lord Inchcape warned most voyages earn far less than their costs and argued that prewar conditions would take years to return. He noted governments plan to dispose of state ships and cited loss making examples. He described a proposed six ship project to carry passengers and mail with Commonwealth aid, estimating 4 million pounds cost with 3 million from subscriptions and 1 million from debentures, but doubted government backing and called the plan doomed. He blamed waterside strikes on a lack of law and order in Australian ports, yet expressed faith in Mr Bruce to restore order and protect trade.
