N.YK. Europ an Extra Steamers.
It is reported that the Nippon Yusen Kaisha has cancelled the agreement with shippers to send one extra steamer to Europe every month, rot committing itself to any agreement, as to the dispatch of extra steamer. The company, however, has now decided to send the Tatsuno-·
steamer.
MATU as an ex'ra
The freight en beans and cereals by the extra steamer for this morth bes been fixed at 903 shillings The Nippon Yusen Kaisha and the shippers concerned are now in negotiation sa "to the freight by the extra steamer for July. The shippers have asked the steamship com- pany to fix the rate at 700 shillings, but it is not likely that the request will be granted.
Seamen's Protest Against Official.
A meeting of Cardiff seamen was held recently to protest arainst the action of the" Board of Trade in allowing the son of a German to be in a responsible position in a Cardiff shipping office, and it was decided, in view of the risk seamen are incurring, that they should demand the immediate removal of the official, and pledge themselve to refuse to sign on for another vessel in the Mercantile Marine office at Cardiff until the official, was removed. Mr James Hensɔn said British seamen intended to boycott German seamen after the war, and they were not now, going to tolerate anyone of German descent holding any position in the British Board of

The Maaila Cablenews" says: -The plan ofthe Director of Com- merce and Communications, Mr. James J. Rafferty, for the con- struction f concrete ships in the Phill ppines is worthy of serious consideration. We would go fur.“ ther than Mr. Rafferty, who sees in the industry an opportunity for rehabilitating the inter-island fleet, and would suggest that if the construction of such vessels proves feasible here, steps might be taken to build larger ocean gó“ ing vessels to engaze in the trans- Pacific trade and thus materially relieve the shortage of tonnage. which has been such a handicap to Philippine commercial de- velopment since the beginning of the war. It w uld seem that the principal difficulty to be ea- countered will be that of a lack of sufficient steel for reinforcement ригрозен. However, the class of steel required can readily be imported from the United States and possibly from China. The proportion of steel needed sof compared with the concrete is very small and a single ship load would probably suffice for many ships. It is also said by experts" that no satisfactory and has as yet been discovered here for large monolithic concrete construction. Still it is bardly likely that the sand possibilities in the Islands have as yet been exhausted and, we believe that a thorough survey by the Bureau of Science would disclose the proper material for

It is interesting to note in this connection that Manila was the birthplace of the concrete ship. Some four or five years ago a local resident by the name of Nick Fouguer built a concrete barge on the Panig which proved successful. Fouzner went to his homeland, Norway,
where be secured financial back- ing and built the first successful concrete eeagoing vessels after plans devised in Manila The Faith followed in the United States and thus the modern concrete ship building industry was born.
