From several points of view the interference of the U.S. Shipping Board in the Cuban shipping situation appears to us most unfortunate. Not long ago the Cunard Steamship Company announced that its steamship Caronia would make several mid-winter voyages between New York and Havana. It does not seem that the U.S. has a monopoly upon trade with Cuba, for that country remains at least nominally sovereign and independent. More than that, it has permitted the Ward Line to lower its rates for the trip to a point which some shipping men declare will make the voyages of the American vessels unprofitable.
