During the past six months, Japanese shipping interests have viewed with a considerable amount of apprehension the growing im- portance of American Bhipping on the Pacific. Frem practically a minor "position two years ago, it bas. advanced by quick stages until at the present day American stipping has risen to a premier position on the Pacific, and also, as was only to be expected, serious competition has started between American and Japanese shipping companies. Dur the war, when practically all allied shipping was withdrawn from the Pacific, the Japanese had the mono- poly in the carrying trade.
