SHIPPING IN britain
IN RU|N0US SLUMP
Upward Trend, However, Is
Beginning to Be Seen.
Hard Fight Ahead.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

Correspondence of The. Star and Chicago Daily
News.
LONDON. England January 20
Next to coal, the blacklist spot in the
present English industrial depression
is shipping And, like coal, shipping
is a great key industry. Because
Britain Is an island, shipping must
always be of incalculable importance
to the industrial life of the country.
No facile optimism can disguise the
fact that British shipping remained In
the doldrums during almost all OF 1923
and that the prospects for this year,
though better, are by no means bright.
Still, 1925 was better than 1924,
which goes to indicate that the up
trend has begun, however slowly, and
perhaps may be maintained. In ten
months of 1924 the gross tonnage to
clear through Liverpool was 37.15S,-
2S8. In the corresponding period Of
1925 it was 39,270,250 tons. This was
not a great increase and the total was
millions of tons short of pre-War peak
years, but even the slight improve
ment was encouraging. Figures for

ranean-Far East motor ship service,
with a fleet Of six ships, and the con-
tracts, II is expected, will go to Clyde
side builders. Manufacture OF the en-
-gines is already under way. The price
of each ship is to be fl, lao 900, indi
eating what Importance the motor
ship may soon reach in British ship
building.
This is another example. too, of Bri-
tain's readiness these days to eX-
change old ideas, conventions and or
CARNATIONS in industry for new.
No more great battleships are likely
in England, and the great Shipbuilding
armament firms like Cammeli-Laira $
and Nickers have been forced TO turn
to new fields. The Rodney, the last
capital ship Britain may build under
the terms of the Washington treaty,
was launched from the Cammell Laird
slips, in Birkenhead, December II
Liverpool Hard Hit
Liverpool. as the greatest industrial
English port, has been hardest hit by
the decline in shipping. But Liverpool
has Just begun to fight. The city, to-
gether with its comparatively few
land industries, has passed the worst
of the depression and it looks to ship
ping to pull it out OF the hole within
Il year.
In fact. Liverpool has voiced it's
faith in its future-and in the future
of English shipping-in very practi-
cal terms.
After several years Of discussion and
negotiation the towns of Liverpool
and Birkenhead, which face each
other across the Mersey, have decided
to build q tunnel under the river TO
expedite shipping, dockage and haul
age and to improve the facilities of
the twin ports. The tunnel will take
four years to build, possibly longer,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-02-04

other ports, like Glasgow, London and
Newcastle, roughly correspond.
AS to Shipbuilding, the situation is
that practically no new ships are be-
ing built. Nevertheless, the same an
nual report in which Lord Inchcape
OF the Peninsular and Oriental Com
panies called 1925 his worst year. re-
ported net profit of 1854 900 for his
companies. That compares with prof
It's OF 1911 900 in 1924. Shipping can
not be bankrupt when one company
makes that profit.
Perhaps the worst aspect Of the sit
uation is that roughly TO- 900 tons Of
shipping lay idle in British shipyards
during the year. The larger reasons
Tor this are the lessening in trading
activity throughout the world. The
immediate reasons, according to Lord
lnchcape. are the collapse of China as
an export center, because of the civil
war, and the unauthorized shipping
strikes In Australia. which for months
paralyzed large sections OF British
shipping
Homeward grain shipments are the
principal index to British shipping &C
tlvity, and these have been erratic in
volume and rates through the last
year. In 1925 freight rates were bare
ly 20 per cent of the average for 1920
ana in many cases We're below the
average for 1913, although working
costs now are probably 80 per cent
above pre-War levels.
Building Motor Ship Fleets.
One of the few encouraging aspects
of British shipping is the development
of motor ships. Recently Furness,
Witty & Co. called for bids on q fleet
of five motor ships, but German firm
underbid the lowest British estimate
by 100000 and took the contract.
Now. however, the Silver Line pro-
poses to run IL New York Mediter-
