Shipbuilding Materiais.
The shipment of iron and steel
to be supplied by the United States under the second agree- ment for the exchange of Japanese steamers for American materials was to be begun in June, but the exigencies of the military situat ion have delayed arrangements, and shipments will not be made until after October. This delay in the supply of shipbuilding materials will naturally cause a corresponding delay in the supply of vessels, the first of which was to be delivered in January next. or six months after the supply of shipbuilding materials,

Materials. The application of the ship- builders concerned in the agree-. ments for the exchange of Japanese steamers for American shipbuilding materials, asking the Customs authorities to dispense with the usual procedure in regard to shipbuilding materials to be imported under the agree- ments, has been granted. Such imports will be deposited in the compounds of the shipbuilders in the
same way as in bonded Customs sheds. Duty will be imposed only on the surplus materials after the construction of the vessels to be supplied to the United States; thus no duty will be imposed on the materials actually used for these steamers.
Dearth of Seamen,"
With the striking development of the shipping traffic in Japan the dearth of seamen is being keenly felt by the shipowners at large. Newly-built steamers
are meeting with great difficulty. to get decent crews to man them. One of the causes of the dearth'

In this connection Mr. Kurokawa, Chief of the Foreign Service Depart- ment of the Nippon Tusen Kaisba, is quoted as saying that though the Company has not yet received any information, it

It is clear that the measure has not been taken against the Nippon Tusen Kaisha. which is transporting. 20,000 or 30,000 tons of gundy- bags and other war supplies every month from Calcutta to Seattle, From the standpoint of the steamship company the Indian service is not remunerative, and it is making some sacrifices to maintain it. Mr. Kuroda adds that though it is urged foreign steamers should be excluded from the Indian coasting servics, it will be impossible for India to develop her trade without the assistance of foreign, especially Japanese, steamers.
