ADVICE BY TATANÈSE-JOURNAL We have more than once urged the Gorem ment; writes the Jiji Shimpo, to pista orders ➡th private Japanese firms for the building of warships. Since the late war some of the ship builders have rea

greatly enlarged their works and are now in a position to undertake the con- straction of certain classes of war vessels, Now that there is talk of transferring some of the Government undertakings into private hands as a menos of relieving the existing economic dizitosa, a renewed discussion of this proposition, seams opportune. The develop meat of the ship-building industry owes much to the encouragement" given by the Govern ment, and the extension of the shipping trade during the last few your has also resulted in the rapid growth of ship building in Japan. The total tonnage of ships built during last year, for instance, reached the unprecedented figure of 75,000, of which something like 75 per cent, wat from the Mitsu Bishi and the Kawasaki Yards, where quite a dumber of ships are either now build- ing or to be built.

Yet this again in just what we bara done. All the poor men who have aver cabled be tween Australia and England might be put in a sentry box. For the poor colonist, or his poorer friend in the old countty, electricity bas not yet been discovered. If we can commsui cars with one another in the United Kingdom at halfpenny a word, we can hear with equania mity that he has to pay 46, a word, or eYED more. Now, it has been repeatedly, shown. that after paying all the cost of laying cables to the Colonlar, we might telegraph to may part of the world an cheaply, and of coumaa as rapidly, as to Ireland. On utilising the land lines, which stretch to Australia with a fow short gaps, and bridging those gaps with new cabler, we might at once dispense, with the existing cables, and telegraph to all points, 1 believe, at a uniform penny fater

LET THE GOVERNMENTS BUY THEM

"If the existing cables were purchased by the Governments of the world the extraordin ary large sums which they now pay for cable manages would go towards the cost of pu chasing them. Moreover, if the cables, wote Blate, or national property, it is not impossible that the tariff could be made less than one penny a word, for no appreciable in-cense of expenditure accompanies the augmentation of the traffic over a wire which is almost clear profit. If the traffic increased say twelve times, under a penny tariff, the revenue would be the same as at prèseal, but the State would be satisfied with loss than half the prosent re- venues of the companies The middle classes can no mora afford to pay the existing high rates than the poorer classes,"

the dulness of the carrying trade since last autumn, coupled with the prevailing inactivity of economic circles, has adversely affected the 'shipbuliding industry also, and new orders have now been almost entirely stopped. The shipbuilders, are therefore much exercised as to the future, when the orders now in band
