SHIPPING

SUBSIDIBS

Referring to the extent of the Government protection given to the shipping business in Japan at the present time, the Tokyo Nichi-Nichi obse'ves that the policy for tect tion or encouragement for shipping pursued by the various countries in the world may be divided into six sectioas-mal sabsidy, subsidy for naval service," tonnage, ship building, pavigation encouragement, and military transport. The method now adopted by Japan is almost identical with the policy followed by France and Italy, allowing subsidies for the transport of male, extention of steam services, and shipbuilding and navige tion encouragement, he total estimate of the shipbuilding subsidies to be granted in Japan for the present fiscal year, as included in the Budget, amounts to Yi3,190,695 (including Y800,000 to

JAPANESE PRESS COMMENT.

30th April.

Some sectio s of ile Japanese Press would appear to have begun to take'alarm at the per- sistency with, which the Chinese are pushing. forward the boycott movement against Japaʊ- ese goods, and the rapidity with which the egitation is spreading in China. The Jiff Shimpo says that the boycott hat not only ad. versely affected the sale to China of marine produce, cotton, and other gods, but the Japaness ships trading to China are also,zu! fering more or less from the effect. That those who lass most from the boycott must be the Chinese people themselves and that the move, "ment will have spast its furce in due course if -left alone is the opinion held by thoughtful men. It is, however, rather sutp ising, says thef, to hear that the feelings against Japın is belog scorelly stirred up by some Europeans and Americans for their selfish ends.. Accord. ing to intelligence from Canton the boycott was statuted by the Canton Seit· Delp Society, and it has been rothusiastically sided by the Chinese naval officers who took pas,in' the Taliu Maw episode The movement also seems to be encouraged by some Western merchants in China who are endeavouring to extend the market for their goods by taking advantage of the incident. It is not diffi- cult to imagine that the local authorities at Canton are not particularly active in their efforts to suppress, the boycott, though out wardly so acting under instructions from Pek ing. It is ogo of the special traits of the Chinese people to form a strong combination for the accomplishment of a declared object.

·This characterisile, if jud ciously made use of, might develop into such a useful institution as local self-government, which should form the basis of a representative system of government. At the same time it harbours germs of disturb Races and rebellions which are apt to break out at the slightest provocation. The frequent rise and fall of the reigning government, with instances of which Chinese history abounds.

and rebellions and kibts which occur in China from time to time, must be attributed to the fact that the weaknes of the people is taken

advantage of by unscrupulous man for the attainment of thair saffish aims.
