SHIPPING NEWS.

Aust alla and Shipbulidlag.

On every side we hear inquiries s to why Australia is notaäsiste ing to provide some of the tonnage so badly required to cope with the needs of the Allies. To those who know, says the "Shipping List." Australia, there is one answer the fault is simply and solely with the powers that be. Fresent and past Parliaments have had attention drawn to the

urgent need for some impetus being given to the shipbuilding industry. Not with the Ides that the submarine or any other national peril would necessitate an unlimited supply of ships, but wholly because the Common. wealth war, owing to the | geographical position, so depend-

ent upon ships and shipping... To-day the fact is obvious to all because of the war, but it has only become 80 a little earlier than ordinary foresight indicated would be so, as a consequence of trade derri-pment. Repeatedly the ultimate result of neglecting such an important industry as shipbuilding was mentioned in our columns and supporting our views were given facts disclosing that twenty years ago large wooden vessels, possibly not se large as those required now," were

being turned out, not from one. but several yards in the Com- monwealth, and instead of increasing the production output steadily dwindled down year after year until it would appear to many as if Australia had never built a ship. One expert tells us that the much-boomed Walsh Island yard "could produce a wooden ship of 1,500 tons, possibly |2,000 tros, but one of our Federa!“ Ministers appears to be of the opinion that 3,000 tons or nothing at all will meet the situation. Really a fine sentiment indeed. Actually it is the same spirit that is responsible for the dwindling down of shipbuilding the last twenty years. Had something useful been done to assist the building of ships in Australia at the proper time, who can say. that the expert's answers instead of- being 1,500tons would not. have been. Yes, readily, not only one, but several. private firms can produce s 10,000 tonner, a 11,000 and 12,000 vessel easily. To gather that such a thing was possible let us recall that growth- of our inter-State trade. Twenty years ago the Eurimbla, Leura, Warrego, to mention a few only, were the "cracks" of the day, and according to many "would never be surpassed" in speed, equipment, or size.. Yet to-day

Is it because the Australian- owned companies would not.. zive the Australian producers.or builders a chance? Is it because the Australian workmanship is |not eood enough? Is it because the shipbuilding companies were not seeking to help the industry along, and like other builcers all over the world imbued with the aim to help along the trite ship. ping union. "Better ships, more passengers: more payengels, better ships"? Emphatically no, is the only answer. The whole reason is contained in the follow- ing sentence:-"Our Governi ment, like with so many other things, did not foresee the growth and value of shipping in Austra lia. Business men did, and kept bringing the point to light until they became sick of it all, and realised the futility of endeavour- ing to infuse new life where

Yet Australie, dependent upon the Allies for her existence, ⠀ has not made one real effort to even assist, leaving aside the whole question of any profit be- ing derived.
