B.—G«r nany’s ship building activity was short- 1 iv-od. The terms of the Versailles Treaty, which deprived Germany of all her large com mercial ships, brought many shipyards into existence and started a general construction boom. But tlie collapse of the mark, with consequent difficulties between labor and employers, ami the troubles builders found in Itn.ineing purchases of raw materials, called a sudden halt. Germany had to give up to its for mer enemies all of its ships larger than 1,600 tous. and half of its ships with a tonnage between 1.600 and 1,000. Unlv ifaffTfewiGMji' tjjr T-OhsltfTsd mnined. Roughly a total of 4.000,000 tons of German shipping was turned over. As there had been a heavy loss of German ships in the war. there were only 600,- 000 tons left after the terms of the Vor sailles Treaty were executed. New ships were built, and Germans bought ships back from their former enemies until tlie German, merchant fleet now has 2.600.000 tons of bottoms, which is less than half the pre-war size, and less than 5 percent of the merchant shipping of the world, The government gave large sums to encourage ship-buihling. supplying two thirda of the cost. But German money fell iu value so rapidly that govern ment appropriations depreciated before construction was completed on many of the ships. Iron and coal prices in Ger many rose higher than world prices, and the general depression of world trade caused many ships to lie idle in German harbors, just as elsewhere. Shipowners today are scarcely able to make operation expenses and have noth ing left for building programs. German exports are now worth only about 1,00,- 000.000 gold marks monthly, which is about one-tenth of the pre-war figures. Shipping circles are hoping for a re sumption of the American grain trade to Europe and a general improvement in the Wor d trade situation as an offset to the hard blow which the German in ternal situation has struck at ship building and ship operation.
