have to fight them. This view is very widely held by the shipping and shipbuilding interests, and by the public generally. The Mr. Runci- responsible Minister, man, in giving detalls of the which 'Government's proposals. have been discussed in the House of Commons stated that, the financial aid promised be limited to the sum of 2,000,0001., and that this assistance would be of # temporary nature, the authorities being, also particularly anxious that the money should not be dissipated in competition among our own shipowners, but should be used: as intended to fight the heavily subsidised foreigner and to regain as much as possible of the trade we have lost through unfair competition.
While the Government's pro- posals have been welcomed "by the
Com- Tramp Shipowners' mittee of the Chamber of Ship- ping, and co-operation has been promised to make them effective. it is pershaps not surprising to find that, as in the case of other industries, some disatisfaction has been expressed at the amount of the sum offered, and at the at- tached stipulations, having in view the magnitude of the ship- ping industry, and the financial assistance granted to other, and in some ways, competitive inter- ests. There is no magic about this particular sum, however, and, in accordance with experience, there la every probability that further assistance will be given. and the conditions modified, if required.

Scrap-And-Build Our readers will be more par- ticularly concerned with the de- tails of the so-called scrap-and- bud scheme, which is limited to tramp ships and general cargo liners; other vessels, such as re- frigerated ships, tankers, coasters. vessels carrying more than passengers, "and those" engaged in short sea voyages are excluded The Chairman of Lloyd's Regis- ter has recently pointed out that, while there is quite a fair amount of shipbuilding in progress, this consists mainly of vessels of the more specialised types. Owners Must scrap three times as much tonnage as they replace or mo- dernise, the vessels must be in effective British ownership, all work must be carried out in Great Britain, excluding however; Nor- thern Ireland, where the ship- yarda, have already benefited by the assistance of the local Gov- ernment. It has always been "a healthy sign of British courage and independence that a few of our shipowning firms made a practice of ordering ordinary cargo tramps at the slackest times, but, apart from some work of this type, very, very few ves- sels and cargo liners are under construction. As these form the bulk of our shipping, there can be no return to anything approa- ching prosperity in our shipyards until it is possible to place orders for tramp vessels to some con- siderable extent. “
British Ingenuity
For many years past it has been the general practice among Bri- tish shipowners to keep their fects well up to date, and the fact that our shipping as a whole la more modern than that of our foreign competitors is evinced from figures which show that 37 per cent. of British ships are un- der 10 years old against 40 per cent. of foreigners, 80 per cent. British under 20 years old against cent, foreign,” and only
69 per
7 per cent. British over 25 years -old against 21 per cent. foreign, We have previously pointed out that such statistics should be received with reserve,
as a considerable proportion of the older foreign tonnage has been effective. In view of this, and of the strangu Iation of international, trade, some, at any rate, of our ship- owners unfortunately seem reluc- tant at present to take advanté. age of the Government's offer to provide money on cheap terms to build new and up-to-date cargo vessels to replace three times the amount of obsolescent tonnage.
British ingenuity in recent years in improving the form, of cargo vessels, in devising new and lighter forms of construction, and in improving propelling machinery, has so accelerated the rate of progress as to tend. to" make propositions regarding

Uneasiness Caused By Rumours
[Special to the "Hong Kong Daily Presa" (Copyright.}]
Berlin Aug. 16, The sharemarket on Thursday was not uniform but chiefly cha racterised by the repurchase "by investors of shares sold earlier in the week, owing to uneasiness caused by certain rumours that had since proved groundless. The Increased production of iron and steel in July had a favourable ef- fect on buying.
Though the burnover of the fix- ed interest securities was not great, the tendency was upwards.
