After reviewing the ups And downs of shipbuilding in the 37 years since the society was found ed, Mr. Smith said the one thing certain about the future is that the shipyards must rely upon building for the merchant marine rather than for the Navy. The U.S.

Too Ophimistic. "The ships now building and those definitely required to be built under the Merchant Marine Act of 1928," Mr. Smith said, "are about aixty in number, and constitute. therefore, but a small percentage of the fleet necessary to retain our present tonnage of vassels in the foreign trade. It would be foolish to assume that our present start es- tablishes us permanently in the carriage of goods In this trade This would be too optimistic. As stated, the work in sight, together with that now under way, should provide a pro- gramme of about £15,000,000 a year from January 1, 1930, to the end of 1934, but the programme beyond that date must be based upon pro babilities.

"Another thing must be thought about. All the new building has been in the shipyards on the Atlantic Coast.. This should be distributed among the yards in all parts of our country. Give every section a share of this building even though there may be some diadvantage ir doing so."

SINGAPORE SHIPPING.

In spite of the 'economic depres sion which prevailed in British Malaya during the past two years, tonnage of shipping at the port of Singapore continued to grow and reached a new high record in 1929, " states the U.S. Vice-Consul at Sin gapore, in Commerce Reports..

The geographic position of the port," he says, gives it a great na- tural advantage over the ports of During neighbouring countries. the past 20 years it has lost a com alderable amount of its tranship- ment trade in native produce (spices. &c.), but this loss has been completely overshadowed by a In- creased transhipment trade in rub- bet, tin, and manufactured goods, In addition to is increased direct ex- port trade in rubber and tin."; "All Indications point to the continued growth of thinning at the port of Singapore.
