Jones BILL IS
.JAPAN'SCROSS
Tokyo Is Out to Modify U. S.
Ship law-WlII Put Pressure
on Pacific Trade.
By ID. N. PARRY.
Internal ionaI News Service.


TOKYO, Jan. Reconsideration OF
ways and means to meet the ship
ping competition to be offered by
the United States Shipping BOARD
has occupied much of the time OF
department of communications Of
ficials here recently. Thus far there
have been many suggestions made
most of them aimed at methods thai
will persuade the United States OF
America to modify the new Jones
bill. These failing, other methods
will undoubtedly be employed.
SPY STORIES JINGOIsTIC.
Japan, often referred to fondly BY
her politicians and statesmen as the
England OF the Far East" because o!
her island empire, is proud OF heI
navy today. prOuder perhaps than OF
any OF her other possessions. spy
stories that multiply in Tokyo al
have to do with the new "eight and
eight battle cruisers" or some other
activity concerning the navy OF Japan
These are all quite groundless. OF
course, but they go TO show the greal
pride held by the Japanese people for
the navy. Consequently, II the United
States builds ships-and 1t is plain
that the United States Is building
more of them all the time-it will be
easy to convince the Japanese people
that more ships for the merchant
marine must be built for the protec-
ton of the islands of Japan.
Recently 1t was announced from
Tokyo that the G. +. o. s. ships which
make the distance ACROSS the Pacihc
from Yokohama to Vancouver in nine
DAYS would have to cut down their
time II they expected to compete with
new japanese boats planned for the
Pacific ocean in the next few years
The Washington times., 1921-01-07

While this report IL taken thus far
only as a report. ~ Is undoubtedly
true that the promise OF faster boats
for the Pacific will be one OF the re-
suits OF the shipping war, II such .
war materisliZes.
Right now the activities OF the
United States shipping Board boats
cannot but be expected to bring at
tention from the Nippon fusen kaisha,
Japan's largest Subsidized line. The
news was prominently displayed in
the Japanese press recently that the
first Pacific Mail boat, touching at
many ports, had completed Its round
the-world trip. In the meantime. the
Empress OF Canada, the biggest boat
that has ever come 10 the Pacific. has
been started from the yards where II
was built, in Great Britain, and will
be here shortly. and In the service be-
tween Canada and the Orient.
VIOLATE AGREEMENTS.
There is no doubt but that Japan
has violated some agreements al
Kobe. Information to this erect has
reached Japan from Washington
where Joshua w. Alexander, Score
tary OF CONNIE and Labor, recent
~ Issued statement that violations
DX Japanese VI Nh'Ai
agents at Kobe had been going on for
ONE time TO the knowledge OF The
United states. This Is jyst one OF the
,any reasons why the United States
tipping Board is justified in any ac-
ton IL may contemplate taking re-
garding shipping in the Far East
One most important act OF the Jap
anese government toward it's ship
ping has come recently. Instead II
using the word subsidy" In connec
ion with the funds granted the Nip
pom Yusen Kaisha, the Japanese gov
eminent, at the present session Of the
Diet, will introduce a bill TO pay the
Y. Y. X. for mails carried. and abolish
the subsidy. This will materially cut
lown the resources of this great
world shipping concern. but the con-
ditlon OF the company Is such that
the loss of part OF its subsidies will
not affect II
This move is to get away from the
unpleasant word Subsidy" and thus
out the shipping of Japan in a posi-
ton similar to other countries.
COAST SHIPPING RULES.
Japan is willing, according to all
Information, to change its coasting
ship rules so as to allow the shipping
# other countries more privileges in
this line. But IL will not make this
change until some sort of assurance
is to be had that the United States
will do something to modify the Jones
bill.
That there Is need in Japan for i'm
mediate recognition of the new com
petition is shown by the announce
ment from shipping offices that
American competition may break into
the Australian wheat transportation
a cargo which has heretofore been
handled to some extent by Japanese
ships. Hesitancy on the part OF Jap
anese shipowners to get in early bids
for the 1920 shipments gave Ameri-
cans an opportunity to undercut
rates. japanese shipowners, alarm
ed, say that unless immediate steps
are taken here the United States riV-
airy will surely Guido japanese com
petitors.

the middle of May. The original
seed came from Russia and he states
that there is never q year that they

a few melons and we pronounce them
