BRITISH MAKE
BIG SHOWING
IN SHIPYARDS
I
LONDON, Aug. 20 (by Associated
Press).—While merchant shipbuild
ing in the United States has been
reduced by one-half since March
1019, British shipyards are construc
ting nearly 15 times as much tonnage
today as they did a year ago, accord
ing to figures just made public by
the British Annual.
The figures show that there were
under construction 3,578,152 tons of
merchant shipping under construc
tion in the yards of the United King
dom at the end of June 1920.
The total number of vessels build
ing was 941 and of these 51 are be
tween 12,000 and 20,000 tons, 69 are
between 8,000 and 12,000 tons, 100
between 6,000 and 8,00 tons, while
three are between 20,000 and 25,000
tons.
The total merchant tonnage build
ing abroad is given as 4,142,751 tons
on June 30 or 405,000 tons lower
than at the end of March which is
accounted for by a decrease in the
United States.
Attention is drawn in the returns
to “an enormous decrease which has
taken place in tonnage under con
struction in the United States during
the last 15 months.” At the end of
March 1919, 4,185,523 tons were ac
tually building in that country, which
total by the end of June 1920, has
been practically reduced by half,
while in the United Kingdom during
the same period, the figures have
increased from 254,845 tons to the
present total of 3,578,153 tons.
The world’s total is given as
2,195 vessels of 7,720,904 tons of
which America contributes 414 of
2,105,956 tons.
JAPANESE PRINCE TO
VISIT IN RUMANIA
I
TOKIO, Aug. 20 (by Associated
Press).—Prince Kan-in probably will
visit Rumania next year to present

the king of Rumania and return the
visit of the crown prince of Ruman
it to Japan. The imperial envoy
would also visit London to return the
prospective visit of the Prince of
Wales, who is expected in Japan next
Autumn.
JAP INFLUE
OVER SHIPP
IS ON DEC!
*
TOKIO, Aug. 19 (by Associated
Press). — The influence of Japanese
merchantmen in the South Seas has
declined owing to the resumption of
operations by foreign shipping com
panies which were compelled to sus
pend their services to that part of the
world during the war.
In pre-war days Dutch and British
ships dominated the shipping trade
in the direction of the Dutch East In
dies, Singapore, Bankok and Hong
kong, but during the war they were
largely superseded by Japanese com
panies.
The position of Japanese ships has
now become less favorable owing to
the fact that merchants are shipping
direct from the Dutch East Indies, in
stead of from Singapore, to Europe.
Japanese ships have gradually with
drawn from the South Seas trade and
the only Japanese concern now main
taining a regular service in that part
of the world is subsidized by the gov
ernment.
