 Tt was an impressive sight. while in Mobile Saturday, to witness the launching of three big ships, and also to see the steamship Chckasaw City, which was launched in Mobile a short time ago, being loaded with. Alabama steel and lumber for foreign coun- try" says l.. sevier, president of the Alabama Manufacturers Association.
 One ship each was launched in the yards of the Chickasaw Shipbuilding and Car Company, the Alabama Dry Dock and Shipbuilding Company and the Mobile Shipbuilding Company.
 NO southern port offers greater fa- cilities than Mobile for ocean lines making that city a direct or indirect shipping port. The three shipbuilding plants mentioned, together with the Henderson Shipbuilding Company, are all prepared to take ships into dry dock, make necessary repairs, or to build complete ships for any ocean line that would undertake establish ment of shipping facilities at Mobile.
 Shippers of Alabama products for export should in all cases determine whether their shipments can be handled via Mobile, and should main tain remunerative service to ship lines that will encourage them to build or charter additional ships for the foreign trade. The inland or all-rail rates to Mobile from points in Ala bama are lower than those to any other port and the Warrior Tombigbee river system provides even lower rates than by the railroads.
 Those who are interested in for eign commerce would be justified in making a trip to Mobile to investigate the facilities offered"

nent loading apparatus and the new steel craft in use, the movement to the gulf should be more economical on account of the freight differen- tials.
 What is of special interest to those who have stood by Warrior river de- velopment is the almost precise simi- larity of conditions for freight move ments from Birmingport to Los An geles and movements from San Pedro, the port of Los Angeles, to Birming- port. Each terminal is about twenty miles from the city which it serves, and both cities have made use of the waterways that could not come to them by going out to the waterways and hitching onto them.
 The far afield trade, whether on the pacific coast, in South America, Asia or Europe is very necessary from time to time to the stability of Birmingham industries and the wise thing is to have these far-away places and consumers cultivated against the time the necessity arises. It is diff ficult in the extreme to go out and secure the distant connections after the scramble for their trade is on in earnest.
