Japan Against
World Pact TO
Tie Up Vessels
shin Owners Union Rejects
Proposal to Withdraw
40 Per Cent of Tonnage
10 Aid Freight Situation
rs. Leads in India Trade
Takes Old Place Held by
Japanese; Nippon Yusen
Kaisha Line Cuts Rates

nroposai that all ship owners in
y. world should tie up 80 per cent of
.s.;r shipping in order to improve
81 freight situation has been reject
a bv the Japanese Ship Owners
Union. The consensus of opinion IN
tka union is said to be that such 8
slan Is impracticable.
according to statement recently
rads by Sir John Wimbie at the re-
esnt annual meeting OF the World
a.xs.iarv Insurance Corporation in
Snnsnn 10000 tons Of shipping
~ laid up for lack of remuneFative
Sysights in various parts OF the world.
r. this is taken to refer &c gross ton
sace more than 20 per cent of the
worlds shipping is already out of
seryiee.
Policy of Laying Up Urged
At the first meeting OF the japanese
shin Owners Union this year, held
in January, representatives. of the
EoEn Shokai Company proposed plan
sor LAYING up 100000 tons OF vessels
ii less than 1000 tons gross, or the
sims employed in the coasting and
rear-sea trades, The larger com
rsajes. including the Nippon Yusen
ks;sha, Osaka Shosen Kaisha and
Two Kisen Kaisha, were not included.
No action was taken on this plan.
Jspan's apprehension over her loss
81 shipping trade is reflected in ( dis
cussion at the same meeting OF the
treatment Of Japanese ships in foreign
ports and the adoption of resolution
urging that steps should be taken
to insure that the principle Of reci-
procity should be observed.
Opposition to Jones Bill
japanese opposition to the provi-
sions Of the Jones bill, meant to give
protection to American shipping, has
been manifested for some time past,
chiefly becauee of the effect it is ex-
peeted to have upon trans-Pacifc ship
ping
Growth Of American shipping in the
Orient trade recently reached the
point where American vessels took the
rlsce long held by Japan in the trade
with India In consequence of this
the Nippon Yusen Kaisha Line has an
neunced a reduction in freight rates
for the India run of 10 to 20 per cent.

Foreign Trade Notes

The Minister of Finance of the Union
Of South Africa has. announced that
tie government proposes to control the
Importation Of shoes, acting under the
moratorium act. The importation of
shoes that car be made in the union
is to be practically prohibited. Other
grades will not be affected.
heavy increase is shown in the
number Of public failures IN Germany
BY the figures for March. The total
for that mcnth was 30a, compared with
$50 for the preceding one. During the
first quarter of 1921 there were 739
failures as compared with PIP during
she first quarter OF 1920.
Trade Commissioner Batchelder re-
ports a strong demand in India for a
well finished, stylish shoe, with the
latest thing in pattern or decoration,
which must be low in price, even at
the sacrifice of quality. The English
shoe that is IN the market is heavy
and does not satisfy the desire for q
stylish shoe.
Because Of the depression in the
British salt trade, largely caused, it is
sad, hy German competition, all the
Cheshire employees OF the salt union
nave Voluntarily accepted a reduction
Of wages Of penny per hour.
australian imports for 1920 amounted
to 100000 tons, of which thirds
consisted of coal The exports of
lsuoO0O tons were chiefly of wool,
msgnesite and other minerals.
