Of course, they have to import a considerable amount of their material, but so have the others: There appears to be considerably more technical knowledge and skill in the private yards of Japan than in any of the concerns working in the Biitish posses sian of the East or in China. What is more, the class o material purchased in Great Britain by the Japane & yards is far higher than is the case with similar concerns at either Singapore,
Hongkong or Shanghai.
In view of these facts lit is difficult to see -anything bright in the prospects of those deck companies working in Hongkong or Shang. hai, and 1 saust again very strongly advice British investors to abstain from providing capi al for any such concem that is likely to be offered in 1.ondon"
There is an evident bias in the above re- marks and an unfair reflection in the skill and knowledge of the technical staff of the British conceros. That a Britisher should voice the | opinion that there is muse technical knowledge and skill in the private yards of Japan than in the establishments at Singapoié, Hongkong, or Shanghai, sbows to, what extent some Eng lish writers will slop over in their fulsonie praise and adulation of their allies.
