Whereas the steel for the first ocean-going ship to be constract- ed in China has necessarily. been imported, it is predicted that in the near future China, possess. ing all the necessary raw ma- terials in abundance, will be able to construct and equip ocean- going vessels entirely of domestic materials. There is also abundant timber for wooden ship construct- and the many small yards capable of turning out one or two vessels up to 600 tons each will not suffer from a shortage of the necessary materials. Eighty million feet of timber is imported annually into Shanghai alone, and a like amount was in storage there in 1917. It is estimated that there are 300 first class Chinese ship carpenters in Shanghai capable" of working from drawings, and 600 good helpers who can, with suitable supervision, produce work equal to European workmen.
