Japan's Attack On
The Pacific Trade
total insurance results indicated.
A cry has recently been raised, good as any in the world and those that if England does not look out which were even worse than the Japan will be monopolising the Pacific trade. The boom in con- struction and the increase in sub- sidies are spoken of as though they were a new assault. Farhaps that is necessary in order that the news may appear sensational Actually It is only an acknowledgment of the success of an effort that has been in progress for years
In recent years, however, there has been a great change. The "scrap-and-build" subsidies, it is true, have been almost entirely captured by the bigger lines, but the long campaign against the pm- chasing of obsolete ships from other countries has been success- ful, and, while some ships at only for scrap still recklessly ply the China seus, there has been a gener- al improvement.
