VARIOUS VIEWS ON THE QUESTION:||

PROBABLE STRUGGLE IN THE DIRT.

The question of skipping, subsidios bids fair to become a subject of much discussion in the forthcoming session of the Dist. The Govern- ment is understood to be keeping the utmost secrecy regarding its attitude on the question and | therefore nothing definite is known to the public, Length inside, 875 ft.

imagine the disposition of the authorities in the matier. The official in question remarks that whereas Great Britain possèssen 18,000,000 tuni of mercantile marisa, America 4,800,000 Jons, Germany 4,200,000 toas, and Frates 1,800,000 tons, Japan noly poin8180 1,000,000 tons. Even this tonnage includes a largo per, centage of old and obsolete ships which are practically useless for the purposes of active commercial competition. For this reason it will be necessary for Japan, at least for some years to come, to encourage the construction of baller ships capable of competing favourably with those of siber, countries is point of speed and tonnage. With regard to the payment of a navigation subsidy, the contention has been put forward that although the larger shipping companies are enjoying the State grant under this system, smaller ship-owners are excluded

not in a position to bulid ships conforming to the subsidy qualifications. Such being the case, the Government has been urging an amalgamation among the smaller shipowners; to as to enable

cerns, but, owing to the unfavourable condition on, the economic situation, so far the proposal has been unsuccessful. It will than be rein that in the present, condition of the shipping industry of japan protection to a certain extent is absolutely necessary. Those who are ac quainted with the fact that in France, in Ger- mauy, and even in England a large amout of money is annually spent for the protection of the shipping trade [so far as England is con- cerned this is an error, the principal part of the payments, to steamship companies

It is true that pany, Limited, and stored at Consignoea' risk the Japanese abipping trade is suffering from and expense, a | the effects of over-tondage, but this is chiefly be- cause a large number of ships are concentrated on the trade near home, while the distant over- sea'trade is'neglected. If the Nippon Yusen. Kuisha is able to declare its regular dividending undelivered after the 2nd inst, will be even in a time of business depressio like the present it is because the company is engaged in the European' and Australian trade. Pro- fessor Tomizu, M.P., is of the opinion that a special, bounty to regular lines in addition to the regular oavigation subsidy, is necessary, but the official quoted by the Hock is of the opposite opinion. The latter subsidy may be dispensed with after the lapse of a certain period when a number of qualified. ships have been built, but the bounty to re- gular lioes is necessary to keep them going, For instance, the continued grant of bounties to theN,Y, K.'i European and the Toyo Kisda's” American lines, the terms for which expire next year, are indispensable. As to the amount of subsidy to be granted these lines, the matter

OPINION OF THE “YORDDZU CHOHO.. Writing on the same subject, the Yorodas Choho says that the amount of shipping sub- ridies annually grantedįby Japan. resches twelve million yen, which, in view of the de pleted condition of finance, must be consider- ed rather excessive The question as to the continuance or discontinuance of the subrid- ies should therefore not be lightly regardad. The problem of shipping subsidies, has been discussed in many civilined countries, and from the result of such discussions, it would appear that the necessity or aiberwice of shipping protection largely depends on the condition of the maritime trade of the country concerned Generally speaking, the margin of profit accruing 16.
