POKTl'GESE CRITICISE
RENTING SEIZED SHIPS
LISBON, May 21.—Sixty-of the 7 6
German merchant steamers which
were in Portugese ports when Portu
gal entered the war, and which were
seized by the government, have been
turned over to Great Britain on a
rental basis. England has rented the
ships for $7,000,000 a year to he
paid after the war.
The renting of the ships to Eng
land has caused a good deal of criti
cism, particularly at this time when
the lack of merchant ships is sending
up the cost of living and disturbing
the whole range of Portugal’s exports
and imports.
One of the most serious results
from the lack of shipping is the coal
famine. Ordinarily coal costs about
$6.50 a ton, but the price now is
$37 and $40 a ton.
