SHIPBUILDING AND SUBSIDIES
The upward trend in the British shipbuilding industry, which has shown itself during the current year, is perhaps the most gratify- ing of all recent signs of recovery, for no other British key industry has suffered more severely from the world depression. So serious was the position at one period that
of the British shipping industry would mean correspondingly enormous subsidy, which ultimate- ly in some form or another must be retrieved from the tax-paper. In any
case the watchword in every crista in Great Britain, has been "retrenchmtnt" rather than added expenditure. Various pro- posals for the improvement of the shipping industry have therefore been put forward, apart from schemes of rationalisation which are still being carried out.

It is learned that at the initial stage the company will start these two air services with a batch or aight commercial planes.
These aeroplanes were purchased from the United States and are Bald to be the most up-to-date models for commercial service. Accord- ing to General Wu Kam Ngar, chief accountant, of the company, two these aeroplanes have arrived -in Hong Kong, and a shipment of
other two will arrive, shortly.

There was a large number of persons at the wharf when the liner came alongside and noticed among those present were Sig. Bisconni, Consul-General for Italy, and Mr. Plovineill the po- pular manager of the Peninsula Hotel, who went on board to greet our distinguished visitors.
Our representative found Mar-! chere Marconi, in the lounge talk- ing to members of the Italian community, but he courteously found time to give us a short in- terview during the course of which he said he was merely on a plea- sure cruise and did not want to talk about business. He had had pleasant, time in Shanghai and his stay in Pelping too, was ex- tremely enjoyable. The Marchese remarked that he was sorry be could not stay longer in the Co- lony, but he was already very much impressed with
