GERMAN SEA TRADE
/ GROWING RAPIDLY
Remarkable Recovery of Nation
k Puts Her Once More Near
r.. Leaders in Shipping.

= LONDON, May 3l.-Germany has
! once more become a competitor in the
sea-carrying trade of the world, says
Archibald Hurd, an authority on mari
,time matters, in commenting upon the
recent defeat in Congress of President
Harding's ship subsidy legislation. "The
recovery of that country" says Mr..
Hurd, lis one of the most remarkable,
if the least generally recognized, events
of the last four years.
a When the war broke out continues
this writer, Germany possessed more
than 100000 tons of Shipping. She
ranked as the second greatest sea-
carrying power in the world, and had
created an efficient organization in every
foreign port for dealing with passengers
and cargoes. Under the Versailles treaty
she was compelled to surrender virtually
all her sea-going ships. and was left
with only about 1000 tons of steam
tonnage. Today, as the result of the
thrift and industry of her workers, she
possesses a merchant fleet of about p
100000 tons, and by the end of the pres
.ent year will own about 100000 tons.
Build Cheaply.
THE Germans have built a great vol
ume of new tonnage at very cheap rates
ing, secondhand tonnage in England
and the United States and are paying
cash for it. There is no country east,
west or south which is not now visited
by German ships, and month by month
the number of vessels. employed at sea
is being steadily increased
:. There has been little unemployment
in Germany since peace was signed. The
whole population. numbering 100000,
has been hard at work, laboring as
rule strenuously for long hours and at
low wages. They have been creating an
immense amount of wealth, and that
wealth has not been exported to any
considerable extent. In the main Ger
many has been re-equipping all her in
dustries, and is now probably the most
efficient manufacturing country in the
world. Her shipowners, industrial mag
mates and great working population have
built up once more a merchant fleet to
carry the vast products of the country
to all the markets of the world
