So far as Scandinavia is concern ed, Norway's merchant fleet has 776,000 tons, or 27.2 per cent.; Den mark, 38,000 tons, or 32 per cent, and Sweden, 500,000 tons, or 36 per cent. in regular lines. Of Finland's mercantile marine only 50,000 tons, or 23.62 per cent., are running in regular services, and of these only 19,800 tons, or 8.4 per cent, are en gaged in the transoceanic trade.

The trade of Finland with extra European countries before the war was very unimportant, as it amount ed to no more than 1.6 to 1.8 per cent. of the total export, while the overscas imports were between 0.4 and 0.8 per cent. of the total: In 1927, however, the proportions were 11 per cent. of the exports and 19 per cent. of the importa.

The project as presented to the Minister of Commerce, contains full details as to the length of voyages, coat consumption, port dues, &c., and the State la strongly urged to accept it in view of its extreme importance for the Finnishi shipping industry.
