The Japanese mercantile fit has doubtless been greatly augmented as a result of the war, but this, in the opinion of the Nichi-Nichi, is a phenomenenrather to be welcomed then regretted, and what now appears to be an over-supply may in course of time found insufficient to meet the 'dreasing requirements. The following figures will give en idea what posin Japan holds in the shipping trade of the world:-

There can ques on that Japan's maxime trade is sill in a state of infancy and is capable of much further expansioD.

The next question which merits serious consid eration is the fact that the mami x of Japrnose vessels which outer andolear from Japanese ports is exceedingly small as compared with foreign vessels. This stte of affairs was more pronounced prior to the war of 1894-5, and though it has now been rectified to a certin extent there is no denying that foreign flage still predominate.

As shown above in 1893 the total
tonnago of all vesels that entered the Japanese ports only aggregated 2,335,000, of which 1,993,000 consisted of foreign vessels, the ratio i tween Japanoes and foreign being 14 to 86. Since then the ratio has gradually been increased in favour of Japanese, yet in 1908-before the wer-the ratio was stiì 38 to 62.
