build and ran If the Chinese can vessels more cheaply than the Japanese, then it would be to the adwentage of Japan to allow China to carry her mer chandise, just as it has been of advantage to the United States to allow British ships to perform a similar service for them. As a writer in the Shipping Garette recently pointed out, the cost of ship-building and running is higher in America than in England in normal times, and even now, if it were possible to do the work, Ameri- can prices might still be outdone. This extra cost would ultimately fall on the manufacturers, whose prices would have It is, to be raised correspondingly. therefore, of moro advantage to the American businessman, to allow other countries to do his delivery work than to undertake it himself. Of course, senti- mental reasons may be urged against it. but, although sentiment may flourish for a time, it has ultimately to yield to reason, and if the waving of the flag brings no appreciable advantage it will in the end be furled. It remains to be seen whether these remarks will apply to Japan, but, in any case, Japanese trade has nothing to los and everything to gain- by competition in the shipping business. She has the start of China, and it probable that in the end she will come out the winner, although this will not be

TYPHOON WARNINGS,
WITH the withdrawal of the American flag, owing to the provisions of the now "Seamen's Act"! which came into force in the United States this month, the future of the Pacific carrying trade would seem to lie between Japan and China, the former being especially active in seizing the opportunity to fill the gap.. The Toyo Kisen Kaisha has already made arrangements to add four yessels to its fleet, and there is considerable activity in shipbuilding circles in Japan, more especially in the production of cargo steamers, for which there is at present great need, owing to such a

Japan reap the full benefit of her peaceful condition.
Whether Japan will be able to take ad vantage of the opportunity to the full, however, is doubtful, It has always to be remembered that Japanese shipbuilding as not yet an independent industry. In past years it was largely a case of buying the parts abroad and putting them together in Japan, and, although the last twenty years have seen some advance, the industry is still largely dependent upon foreign supplies. Consequently, the fact that the British mercantile shipbuilding
