The latest study reveals that Great Britain is building, or planning, 623 vessels of 5,502,37 ‘This tonnage represents 42.5 per cent of the sixteen reporting maritime nations, The United States has moved up to fourth place and its firms are building or planning 85 ships of 1,082,990 gross tons, 9 gross tons. U.S. building represents only 8.5 per cent of the to-, tal reported by the sixteen countries. In total tonnage = Sweden ranks second and Germany third. The increase in German maritime construction has been great in the last twelve months. A year ago, Germany had orders for 82° vessels, aggregating 280,793 tons. Today, orders are up to 210 ships of 1,251,668 gross tons. The last figures support the old argument that mari- time labor in the United States is relatively high priced. Whether or not this reasoning is correct, many U. S. ship- ping officials say that cheap maritime labor enables competing maritime nations to haul freight more cheaply than U.S. vessels can haul the same tonnage..

NEW OVERSEAS AIR FARES At a meeting of the International Air Transport As- sociation, in Nice, France recently, the scheduled airlines ol the North Ajtlantic area voted unanimously to inaugu- rate a new third-class service to Europe, beginning May ist. In some cases, this means you can fly to Europe and back at a saving of over $200. The new fare to London, England, for example, is $270 one way, or $486 round trip, during the vacation season. If you would make the round trip in the off sea- son, you could buy transportation there and back for $417. A round trip to Scotland in the off season costs $364.80, which is just about what a one-way trip cost on- ly a year or two ago.
