In actual figures, whilst the is a cargo and passenger steamer ton- nage of 3,050,000 tons gross laid UP, there are motor ships of only 85,000 tons gross now idle, an amount which, in the circumstances, is so small that it is hardly an ex- aggeration to state that practically the whole of the British-owned mo- tor cargo and passenger tonnage is ed in brackets. engaged in service. The position abroad is similar.

It is impossible to assess the value of these facts too highly Obviously, owners first lay up ves sels which are least likely to earn them a profit, or which will causeį them the heaviest losses. In other Letters and postcards for Europe and South America are forward- words, the least economical ships, ed "via Siberia" If so superscribed. taking into consideration not only running costs, but depreciation, in-|| terest and insurance, are naturally those which will be placed out of; commission first when the necessity arises.
Whilst general statements regard- ing the superiority of one class of ship over another are usually to be discounted, these figures at least ..show that, broadly speaking, the British shipowner is finding the all- engined vessel a very much more economical ship to run in circum-
saved and every possible mode of stances when ev y penny has to be
increasing efficiency explored. If it is thus demonstrated that, at a time) of the most serious depression ever] known in shipping, the proportion of one class of ship laid up is only! one quarter of that of the competi-; tive type, there can be no question as to which has proved generally superior in service.
