LECTURE AT KOBE BY SIR JOHN

BILES MITAN

The following paper was read by Sir John Biles, naye architect, now staying in Kobe, at a welcome meeting held by the Kobo Katan Club (Kobe Shipping Club) on October 11th.

There were cine, sixty present on the ecension, including Mr. Matsukata who made a speech in -confirmation of Six John's opinion..

Every country with a senboard (said. Sir John Riles) sooner or later wants to have its own mercantile marine. Nolb got ready for this when he built the Ark, which was repited to be the only mercantile marine and it

was in the Orient.

Japan has a coast line of 19,000 miles and a population of 370 per square mile | and a coast line of 19 per hundred square miles. Great Britain has 9000,350 and 6 corresponding.

With the development of industrial ability Japan has become a "great" "mari- time power, not only in the war navy but also in the mercantile murine.

My first visit to this country was in 1805. Japan then had 310 "ships of 280.000 tons," average 800 tóns.. I visited { a second time in 1996: My third visit f was in 1902, when Japan had 335 ships| of 355.000 tent, average 1,040 tons per ship. Now she has 2,000 ships of 3,100,000 tons, average 1,500 tona per ship,

You cannot, therefore, wonder that some one should say for another Eastern country, why cannot we have our own mercantile marine. "run, ke Japan, by our own people, with our own capitalf Ano I am here among you to try and learn, not only what you hair done, how you have done it, so that. I may re-' port to the authorities of that country to enable theur to judge of the practicability of doing the sime in that country. Some of you have helped me already on this inquiry freely, willingly, and gladly, None that I have asked have refused to help. If any one of whom I have had no opportunity of asking, will help met I shall be grateful.

Having been associated with ships and machinery all my life, my opportunities of seeing operations and progress have been many in many parts of the world. I think Japan is a good example of n mercantile marine having been developed by, the energy of the people, judiciously aided by its Government, until such time as the need of aid for shipping ceased to exist. I venture to think that no Government can create and maintain a mercantile marine unless it has an ener- getic and intelligent people to manage man and manipulate it. I think that your system of education for manning the marine has much to its credit for the

The next item of importance is fuel, quantity ped and price per ton. The Diesel engina gires us the least quantity consumed, being about one-fourth of the weight of fuel that our ordinary, coal fired steam plants use. The price per ton of cil is not four times that of coal in some routes.

In deadweight carried the sprink of weight of fuel is a good prost in itself! and some reduction is crew cost will exist. The first cost charges are higher, but 11,000 tons Diesel engine, tramps have beca plazed for 111⁄2 pounds per ton dead- weight.

Develop- ments are taking place in the design and manufacture of Diesel engines, which will add much to their power per ton of weight and per unit of first cost. - Much more power per eplindër, "as much as 1,000, will be developed in the near future and will help shipowners to get better economic results.

In this in hope of reduced cost and no doubt ship- builders have alrendy anticipated some of these possible improvements I'm told that you have acquired a quarter of & million tons of second hand shipping in the last two years at an average of about El ner ton deadweight.
