Plans arc being drawn up by the Japanese .Ministry of Communications which have for I heir object the encouragement (if shipping services and new construction, make an important alteration in the speed of cargo vessels built under the Government schemes. It will be remembered that under the shipping improvement arrangemenis adopted some lime ago, hew cargo vessels had to be capable of jnaintaining 17-18 knots in service, a provision which attracted some attention, abroad. Now, the vessels must have a speed of not less than 20 knots, in spite of the fact that they will COS I. up to twice as much as formerly. The Ministry recognise this, but insist that such speeds arc essential for national defence purposes. It is pointed out, moreover, that Ihe new ships may not necessarily be uneconomic, for Ihe Canberra Maru and her sisters, which have reduced the .Japan Australia, run from three weeks to 11 days, have shown a fair margin of profit.' The plans also provide for Ihe extension of subsidies to tramp tonnage and for encouraging the establishment of new services, SHIPPING TELEGRAMS Auckland.—Sept. 32: Sailed. .Margaret W.. 6 p.m., and Awalton, 9.25 p.m., for ('oast bays and Gisborne.
