COASTWISE TRADE.

The Japan Marit in a leading article

Bays

The competition in the Indian constwise trade between the Nippon Yusen Kaisha and the British India Steam Navigation Co. has been the subject of investigation by the Bombay Chamber of Commerce. It appears that the Bombay Manager of the Nippon Yusen Kaisla has been mak ing an explanation on the subject. He. stated that the Nippon Yusen Kaishn received from the Government for the maintenance of special lines under mail contracts certain subsidies, but the Cal- cutta line was not one of these and received no subsidy that the British- India Steam Navigation Co.. on the other hand, received a lump sum from the Government of India for the maintenance, of coasting services, and that the N.Y.K., having tried to induce the British India Co. to work with them but failed, was now following the current freight rates of that company, which had been first respon

In its ply the Committee noints out that the subsidy paid by the fovernment to the N. V. K. represents upwards of 2 per cent on its paid-up capital, and it follows, therefore, that even if the steamers work at a considerable loss the subsidy still enables the company to pay H dividend." It may be noted in passing

lines of the company worked at a con- siderable foss, this loss would have to be made good from the subsidy, out of which the company would accordingly not be able and to pay a dividend. However, the point the Bengal Chamber wishes to make is that even if the Calcutta line does not | receive a subsidy, the loss incurred on the ine is met out of the subsidy paid on other lines, so that while technically the Line in unsubsidised, in reality it receives a share. The point seems to us a good one and if the disputa turned on this question of subsidies the N.Y.K. would have no ease. It turns on something else, however, which we will disenss presently. In regard to the subsidy paid to the British India Co., this, it appears, is "granted specifically for the provision of regular, frequent and fast sailinge on sixteen lines, the trade on which would not, it is admitted, auffice to maintain vessels equal to the postal requirements." The subsidy thus does not appear to differ in purpose from that paid to the N.Y.K. The Chamber adds that the other British companies on the Indian coasting trade are not subsidised by the Government of India at all, but the application of this statement is rather obscure, Does the
