Even if the system of subsidy is sub- stituted for that of mail fees, it is not believed that there will be no great change in the amount of money which the Govern ment will pay to the Nippon Yusen Kaita, in whatever manner that payment may be made. It should also be noted that there are often differences betwres the amounts of ubsidy approved by the Diet and the pavaients actually made to the, anbadized companies.
