YANKEE SHIPS IN
TRADE OF PACIFIC
United States Leads the World in Num-
Der of Vessels Now Under
Construction.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The turning
point in the fortunes of American ship
ping on the Pacific was marked by the
recent purchase of three large ships
by the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany, land there is no further dan
ger of the American flag disappearing
on the Pacific" a department Of COM
merce report announced today. 1t also
pointed out that the European war
has cut down the total shipping of all
nations engaged in trans-Pacific trade
from 100000 gross tons to 100000.
The Pacific Mail company's pur-
chase, the report says, adds 17,100
gross tons to the 5000 tons that re-
manned of American shipping on the
Pacific. Prior to the war the total
American tonnage engaged in this
trade was 10000 gross tons, or 81 per
cent of the total, as against British
shipping's 80 per cent and Japanese 33
per cent. Up to the Pacific Mail pur-
chases, American shipping had fallen
off to two per cent, British to 30, while
Japanese tonnage had jumped to So
per cent of the total and Dutch ship
ping, formerly practically nothing, to
Is per cent.
The report says that japanese ship
yards are taxed to their capacity and
orders for Japanese ships have booked
their yards for two years ahead In
cidentally the Chinese are busy at their
Shanghai and Hong Kong yards.
THE United States" the report con-
cludes, has more merchant vessels
under construction than any other
country in the world, and while the
greater part of this new tonnage is not
intended for immediate use on the Pa
cific, it is probable that sooner or later
some of it will be diverted to the far
eastern trade. Whether American
shipping will fully regain its former
standing in the Pacific cannot be defin-
itely foretold"
