Japan's New Ship Subsidy
| VICTORIA, b. c., March 12.--Advices
were brought by the steamer Empress
of China, which arrived today, that
the new ship subsidy bill passed by the
Japanese government will work greatly
to the benefit of the new trans-Pacific
line of the OshaEo Shosen Kaisha and
Toyo Kaisen kaisha trans-Pacific line,
but will be of great disadvantage to
the Nippon Yusen kaisha and may re-
suit in the abandonment of the Euro
pean service.
The new law provides that the min
imum speed of subsidized steamers is
to be II knots. and an additional sub
sidy of Is per cent for every additional
knot per hour will be paid. and with
respect to ships employed in the new
lines the subsidy is increased 25 per
cent. This will make the fast steamers
veloped 10 knots, receive the largest
subsidy. and the new line of the Oska
Yusen Kaisha will receive navigation
subsidy of 32A cents per 1000 miles
per ton, while the Nippon Yusen Kaisht
will get % cents per ton.
The new bill also provides that
steamers. after IA years, will not be
paid a subsidy, and that the per cent
will be deducted every year after the
fifth year of a steamers age. AS the
Nippon Yusen Kaishais steamers are
much older than those of other COM
panies and used OH established lines.
this company will find the new subsidy
law disadvantageous, while newer
rivals find 1t temporarily beneficial
A subsidy is provided for new line
with bimonthly sailing dates to South
America via Manzaniilo and Salina
