Foreign, Domestic Trade COAL SHORTAGE Rapidly Grows In P.I.

Country Well Served By De La Rama Steamship Company

The Philippines undoubtedly are a maritime country, with their excellent harbour facilities at all principal coastal cities. In the past Ave years that country has seen a rapid growth of foreign and domestic trade; the Bureau of Customs estimated Philippine trade for 1937 at P.524,000,000, which gave foreign ships a profit of P.79,000,000. Besides the degree of progress and development demands that it should export all that it produces and import all that it needs. "All these conditions and facts in- dicate the necessity for a large and efficient national merchant marine. "

STRONG FLEET -

H

Some people are wont to ask just how much strong merchant marine can contribute to the material progress of any country. This is answered easily by the examples of such countries as the Netherlands, Japan and Norway. These countries practically sub- sist on shipping and foreign trade by means of their large fleets of merchant ships alone.

Since its foundation, the De La Rama Steamship Company. nas been engaged in coastal or domes- tie trade and commerce. but only recently announced its intention of engaging foreign trade. This decision of the company has brought to te a new

trans- Pacific shipping service.

From the ownership of a small ferry boat in 1885 to the owner- ship and management of a fleet of Inter-island vessels and

ocean-

going cargo vessels, is the fas cinating story of this pioneering company.
