Japan Third in
Merchant Shipping
Tohio. Nor. 7.—Discussing the
figures of Lloyd's Shipping register
showing that in the amount of mer
cantile marine tonnage Japan is
third among the nations, being sur
passed only by the CJnited Kingdom
and the United States, the Oriental
Economist, a Japanese commercial
monthly,, says the chief causes for
the empire's development in this
line have been the protection and as
sistance afforded by the government
and the three wars in which Japan
has been engaged in the last 25
years.
"Ti.e protection of the government
to the shipping trade of the country
dates as far back as 1872," says the
paper. "In 1875 the original compa
ny was dissolved and a new one es
tablished. The Kyodo Unyu Kalshut
was established In 1S85 and in the
Bame year the two companies were
amalgamated and the present Nippon
Yusen Kalsha came into existence.
The government guaranteed the new
company payment of 8 per cent divi
dend. This arrangement was later
changed into the grant of a fixed |
amount of annual subsidy.
"The termination of the Russ
Japanese war saw further develop
ment of Japan's shipping trade and
various new liners were opened to
many ports In China. In 1909, the
many ports In China, Korea and in
Eastern Russia. In 1909, the Osaka

"That the European war gave a
great impetus to Japan's shipping
trade will be still In the memory of
all. Another Important factor has
been the plentiful supply of cheap
labor In the shape of seamen and of
fuel. The course of events in re
cent year, however, has shown that
these factors in favor of Japan have
been disappearing and Japan's ship
ping trade in common with many
other Industries is confronted with a
serious crisis.
"Considering that Japanese ships
require a larger number of men in
the handling the comparative low
ness of the efficiency of the Japa
nene seamen will be clear, although
their wages are comparatively high."
