Both face stern competition from the French Line, the North German Lloyd-Hamburg-American combination, U. S. Lines and to a lesser extent from Il Duce's Italia Line. Though Tsar Emil Lederer of the Transatlantic Passenger Conference keeps fares equalized for all, the fight for traffic is hot, the profits nil. Only big British shipping concern to escape the woes of the North Atlantic dogfight is the late great Lord Inchcape's mighty...
