KOBE'S MARITIME AMBITIONS
During the past few years, the majority of the seaports in the Far East have been en gaged in considering the advisability of ex tending their harbour and docking facilities. with the object of attracting a larger share of the mercantile marine trade and meeting the requirements of the moment. To a cer. tain extent the question of improving har bour conditions has arisen through the vast ly increased tonnage of merchant vessels plying in the East, but it has also come to the fore through the perfectly laudable desire to aggrandize the various parts in the Far East. In the Straits Settlements several schemes are in progress whose sole and
