The launch at Port Glasgow of the
steamer Seiyo Maru for the Togo Kis-
en- Kaisha, Of Toxic. draws attention
to the fact that the Japanese ship
yards and steel works are still un-
able to supply all the requirements of
their country. Several other vessels
for Japanese firms are under construc-
ton on the Clyde, including some to
the order of the Mitsu Bishi Shipping
Company, of Nagasaki and Kobe,
while 1t is understood that inquiries
have been made In the district recent
.ly on behalf of the Nippon Yusen Kali
sha, of Toxic, who are to order new
steamers. Experience has shown that
Japanese builders are heavily hand
icapped by the cost of materials and
by the difficulty of obtaining deliver
les of steel and iron from their ma
tive steel works. They find that in
rendering against British firms theF
cannot reduce prices to British fig
ures, and that it is absolutely neces-
sary to import shipbuilding material
from Britain. At present a consid-
cradle amount of steel is being ship
ped from the Clyde to Japan.
