 NFRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO (by Associated Press), Feb 10.-An extensive de- velopment of shipbuilding and wide expanse of maritime industry in all of its branches Is looked for by ship ping interests of the Pacific Coast with the return of the world of normal peace conditions. This expectation Is based in 8 great measure on the fact that the Pacific Coast suffered com paratively little by the demands of war, whi3s k tle same time it's i'm mense naia rssources were ex. tcnslvely devesoeed by the govern ment for increased tonnage The coast is now equipped with more than | score of modern shipbuilding plants, some. of them among the largest in the country. These yards were equipped with every facility for turn ing ont tonnage at the highest speed. and now that the war is over, these facilities will not be allowed to 90 to Naste.

i've reconstruction of piers and ware houses. Plans for an absorbtion ol usual port charges by division of over head expense brings to the front the freo port movement, a subject which now looms large in relation to the commerce of all ports.
 According to Robert Dollar, a shipping authority, Pacific shipping by America will come into keen competi tion with Japan. Japanese ship owners" he said, "have made enorm ous profits during the war, therefore that competition will be backed by plenty of money, supported by sub. sidies for shipbuilding and for carry. ing of mails, advantages which Am. orleans will be forced to combat
 With the recently announced re lee,se by the United States Shipping Board of all requisitioned ships, and the turning over to private interests of government owned vessels, many of the larger lines engaged in Pacific Coast and Panama Canal trade are planning early resumption of inter rupted service.
