SURPLUS TONNAGE.

LONDON, February 26

The annual report of the Chamber of Shipping says that it is impossible for shipbuilding to prosper, so long as the surplus tonnage remains. Effective rationalisation by British builders had assisted the shipbuilding industry in weathering the'storm, but prosperity.must ultimately depend on the revival of the economic demand for new tonnage. With the scrapping now going on, and. that which may result from international action, the time will be brought nearer when shipbuilding will be restored to a healthy state, in which it can rely on new construction to replace marine losses, wear and tear, and steady moderate progress required for the expansion of trade. This will be . more healthy than sporadic bursts of activity, resulting from artificial measures.
