The above information is based on particulars 'supplied to a cor- respondent of Norges Handels of Sjofartstidende. by Mr. Hans Losalus, secretary to the Nor- Consulate in weglan. General Bilbao. As a 'result of there being few new ahlps bullt at Spanish: yards, the secretary states that the yards have been compelled to re organise working and change-over to the construction of locomotives and waggons. Owing to the diffi cult situation of the shipping in- dustry, suggestions are being con- stantly made to get the Government to assist it.

In this connection it is mentioned that a scheme has just been placed before the Government for the.com- struction of a series of ships of a total of 650,000 tone, in order to meet the tonnage deficiency, that Spanish ships may be used for the transport of various imports to Spain and undertake the exports of fruits, wine, .&c. At present the State affords support to the shipbuilding industry to the extent of 8,000,000 pesetas par The constructional scheme sug- gests that the ships should be built in the course of four years, and it is submitted that the State subsidy should be raised to 82,000,- 1000 pesetas per annum,

In the absence of State support, the secretary states that it is absolutely impossible to construct ships in Spain which are able to compete with those of other coun- | tries. The country's largest ship- are Sota and. Aznar, and they have been compelled to order three news ships aboard, while another large company has had to place a contract for a large passenger ship abroad. Two ships which Sota and Aznar have Just had built are to be placed in service in the fruit trade to the Canaries.

The cargo of the "Kwangse" is being discharged into the steamer "Anhui." Salvage operations have been abandoned.-Router.

The freighter "Asiatic. Prince," bound for New York to Yoko hama and overdue since April 2, has been given up for lost by mari-. time experts. So far no trace has been discovered of her crow.
