ON THE UP-GRADE
BRITAIN’S SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY Rugby, February 23. Sir William Seager, in his presidential address at the annual meeting of the Chamber of Shipping of the United Kingdom, said there were signs that a revival to comparative prosperity might be expected before long. If the heavy industries were moving but slowly towards prosperity, they were none the less moving, while the expansion of 34 new industries involving the additional employment of 874,000 people was a most encouraging sign. The outstanding fact to-day was the great improvement in shipbuilding, whereas at the end of December, 1926, there was under construction in this country 760,000 gross tons, to-day there was 1,500,000 gross tons, and what was particularly hopeful was that foreign nations who had been good cusotmers for ships in the past were maintaining and ever increasing their custom. —British Official Wireless.
