BETTER SHIPS.
HULLS AND ENGINES. RESEARCH IN BRITAIN. /United Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, January 9. A publication called "The British Shipbuilding Industry for 1935," issued by the Shipbuilders' and Employers' "Federation, referring to shipping now under construction in British yards, says the new vessels will be able to pay their way where older ships could only be run at a loss. "Improvements in hull form and in machinery brought about by extensive tank research and experiments have made it possible for British shipbuilders to offer modern ships capable of carrying twice as much freight for each ton of coal consumed as cargo vessels built eight or 10 years ago." The report adds that the attitude of some shipowners to the "scrap and build" scheme is becoming less lukewarm.
