This, apparently, was not the view of the Chairman of the Company, who in his speech had said he believed it was owing to the fact that "the Japanese Government had forced their shipowners to increase their departures from Bombay to such an extent that, so far as freight to Japan was concerned, they had been com- pletely left out in the cold." The view that there had been any direct intervention of the Japanese Government in the matter was scouted by some of the critics of 'Sir Thomas Sutherland, and certainly, it appeared to A.

Austrian Lloyd, Florio Rubatting. Since the termination of the war the japanese have been most auxious to carry the whole of this trade in their own vessels, and as they own many merchant steamers won as prizes during the war, they considered it would be a beneficial way of utilising this extra tonnage to place some of it on the Bombay-Japan line. The sailing of the Nippon Yasen Kaisha have accordingly been increased from two steamers per mensem to three sailings. They now therefore practically have the monopoly of the Bombay Japan cotton trade." Con- tinuing the article our Kobe contempor- ary remarks: "From this paragraph it will be seen that Sir Thomas Sutherland was quite justified in saying that Japanese steam ers had increased their sailings, though even this was cailed In question in Japan.
