JAP INFLUENCE OVER SHIPPING
 IS ON DECLINE;

TOXIC, 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in the direction of the Dutch East In- dies, Singapore, Bankok and Hong kong, but during the war they were largely superseded by Japanese com- panies.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.

BRITISH MAKE BIG SHOWING
 IN SHIPYARDS

LONDON, Aug. 20 (by Associated Press) While merchant shipouild- ing in the United States has been reduced by one-half since March 1919, British shipyards are construc- ting nearly 15 times as much tonnage today as they did 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,O0O and 10000 tons, 69 are between 5000 and 12,000 tons, 100 between 5000 and 500 tons. while three are between 10000 and 25,0O0 tons.
 The total merchant tonnage build ing abroad is given as 4,142,751 tons on June 30 or 4O5,OOO 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 worlds total is given as 2,195 vessels of 7,72O,9O4 tons Of which America contributes 414 of 2,105,956 tons.
