So far this year 27 vessels of 88,962 tons have been Jaunched on the Tyne, as compared with 89 ves- sels and 149,259 tons in the corres- ponding five months of 1928, the de-. crease representing 12 vessels and €0,307 tons.

Such depression is further shown by the fact that during 1928 only 15 vessels aggregating 33,200 tons were launched from French yards whereas the normal renewal of the French mer- chant fleet (3,890,000 tona) would call for the launching of about 200,000 tons per annum.
While the state subsidy scheme known as Credit Maritime "constitutes the first sign of interest on the part of the state towards the shipbuilding in- dustry since the war, this step has not brought about very substantial achievements; following on the grant- ing of three loans applying to the building of five vessels (37,000 tons), spplications for loans under the Credit Maritime have ceased for over months, but there are signs of further demands.
