SHIPPING NEWS:
Confiscated Ships in China.. The anxiety with which the ultimate decision as to the use of the enemy ships confiscated by China continues to be watched is proportionate to the urgent need of meichsn's for shipping to Europe, says the "N.C. Daily News." That the ships, 12 in number and aggregating some 130,000 tons, have been acquired by a newly formed Chinese syndicate from the Government, is apparently beyond dispute. The originator of this syndicate, It is an open s cret, is Mr. Charg Chien, the well known Chekiang merchant. Mr. Chang is one of the most remarkable men in Chiza to-day combining the unusual distinctions of being a first-class, business man and a scholar of considerable attain: ments. He was for awhile Minister of Commerce under President Yuan Shih-kai and if we are not mistaken, was founder of the National Conservancy Bureau But whether Mr. Chang's. syndicate will, or would even be abla to run the ships adequately on its own account is altgether another matter. There is pract ically no Chinese mercantile marine to foreign countries. although Chinese sbire occasion- ally go to Vladivostok we believe. Furthermore, China does not yet possess the proper rules and regulations for the running of such a marine, the China " Merchants' ships being subject to Customsregulations for cast- wise and river traffic. When Mr. P. M. Sah, Chinese Com. missioner for Foreign Affairs, rceive the news of th acquisi- tion of the ships by Mr. Chang Chien's syndicate last Wednesday it was at first emphatically stated that there was to be no question of r-charter.

particularly keen; at one time it was actually affirmed that certain Japanese companies bad acquired them; and the Government was determined that they 'should be run by Chinese, under the hinese A z. in Chinese interests. This news, as our Pek ng cor- re-pondent pointed out in the letter published on Monday, cuased small dissatisfaction in foreig circles in the capita, the Allies having ffered eithe to buy the shia outright for the £4,000, 0 0 at which they are valued or to hire them at pro rata prices. The present (wr. to our correspond- eat, wha Chins is impecunicus and ships have a fancy value, is hardly the time for her to oganise a larke c'mpany with a scratch lot of ve sels, meat of them u suited for trans-Pacific traffic. As hina cannot send tro ps to fight for international law, nor can she supply money, Aor is there an thing she can give the Allies that they are not getting from her already, it is a little surprising that she does not do the one small thing that would help to forward the object for which she declared war. Subsequently to this letter having been written (August 18) it be came apparent that the actual management, of the ships was still undecided and there is rea- son to believe that negotiations for a tub charter in some form that would respect the natural desire of the Chiness to soe their flag flying are still proceeding. In a telegram published later ur Peking correspondent quoted a Chinese newspaper reported that the ships had been subchartered. to the Mitsu Bishi Kaiska, adding:-"In an official Japanese quarter I lean that a prominert Japanese shipping company has made proposals for the sub- charter of some of the
vessels, but it is believed to be untrue that any arrange- ment has been concludes. In point of fact the Chinese Prens rep rk appears to be a rehash of ene th-t was reproduced fr in Japanes papers by the Jipan Chronicle of August 30, both the name of the Hisn Bisht nd the'amour tofcharter: Y.3.400,00)”. 'being there mentioned, although
the story differed ali hily in other. reap cts. Now if the Japanese offer is accepted, there is reason to believe that it will not be with out the concurranse of the other," Allies, and that the ships wal in a y case bo preserved or the China trede, se inde d they naturally shoud be, bth for ho great winds of that trd and be cause the ships belong to hina, But an hire deficit hos yet been d-cided and he moment, theng- fore, opportube to unze that the Chinese Government will sta wuy, to coming to trins with the. Allion to secum the nga of the ship to trade between China and Europe with their co-operation.
