The exports consisted of one motor vessel of 79 gross’tons, and thirty-nine boats of varying types with a total gross tonnage of 130 tons, the whole valued at £18,201. as compared with a value of £1,201.261 in March of last For the first four months of this vear the total value of ship exports was £472,929, as against £1,271,869 last year, and £340,404 in the previous year. Bad as the figures are, compared with last year, an improvement is shown on those of 1932. GERMAN SHIPPING. Indicated intention of the German Government to lend its support to the development of a healthy merchant marine through reorganisation of lines was recalled by M. Oboussicr, chairman of the Hamburg-American Line, in an address delivered on board the steamer Hamburg at her home port on the occasion of the visit of Dr Schmidt, the German Minister for Industry. The principal question, Mr Ohoussier said, was how, in the face of the attitude of foreign countries to subsidies,

the State aud private initiative could put the industry once more on a sound footing? ,/That would be tlie motive underlying measures that they proposed to have put into effect in the near future. AVhat German shipping needed, apart from healthy currency conditions in tho world, he said, was an increase in freights and passengers, When they considered the relatively high share of foreign shipping in German ports they felt much more could be done by patronising home tonnage without violating the principle of the freedom of the seas. He criticised the old policy of concentrating shipping organisations into ail-embracing mammoth concerns, but said they had to guard themselves against thinking that salvation for the future could only be found in drastic rearrangements. Shipping concerns, he said, worked in an international held, and were compelled to submit to a great extent to the trend of the world’s markets, which were very sensitive organisations. Adolf Stadtlaender, director of the Norddeutscher Lloyd, has announced that the company has decided to order six new vessels of a total of 50.000 gross register tons, of the value of about 23,000,000 marks. It is assumed these ships, together with the reconstruction of existing vessels, which is to be undertaken simultaneously, will provide employment for about 10,000 workers for a year and a-half. h VESSELS IN WIRELESS CALL.
