EXPERT COMMENT '
THE CHINA MAIL,
That Great Britain still maintains her position in the shipbuilding world, and that oll, whether used under boll ers or in internal-combustion engines, continues to mako progress in the mercantile flects of the world at expenso of coal, are the two most signi. Acant facts revented by the summary of shipbuilding in the world in 1923, issued" by Lloyd's Register of Ship ping to-day, says the "Journal of Com-
morce.'
Before the war this country was pro- in the shipbuilding world. eminent Now it is correct to any that she stands'in relation to a world. of ship- builders in very nearly as strong a posl~| tion. That the development has taken place in shipbuilding abroad which that comparison implies must, in fact, always be remembered when the poal- tion of this country as a shipbuilding A centre to-day is contrasted with her position some fifteen years ago, Last year therO was an Increase in the world's output aver 1827 of 413,580 tons. Great Britain's share was 220,047 tons. This country built more ships, than the rest of the world, and her output_1,448,920 tons, was 53.6 per cent. of the world's total. The per- centage was the same in 1027, so that on an increased output Great Britain has maintained her position. The

is not so much a question of steam or ed diesel that is for the shipowner and marine engineer to decide as one of native or foreign fuel.

These are figures which emphasise the national point of view. This increasing use of all as fuel for ships instead of coal is one of the factors in the de pression existing in the coal mining in- dustry of this country to-day. The market thus lost, it is obvious, cannot be regained unless, coal is shown to offer the economy and adaptability of bil, so that the experiments now being made to reintroduce the use of coal, either in its pulverised state or as ofi after carbonisation and distillation bave taken place, must be accelerated and proved to the satisfaction of ship- owners if any success is to be obtain. d.
