What has happened to our shipyards?
Why have/they lost so much trade, causing so many ;
redundancies?
latejy been given a great deal
/CERTAIN elements of the Press and the B.B.C.
•• have attempted to answer these questions
as though the blame for these redundancies lies
with the ship-bulldlng sompanies alone.
For example, a “Tonight” reporter was
searching round the yards for pictures of any­
thing that would belittle the industry.
“Ah, this has been imported from Germany,
hasn’t it ? ”
“ No, that came from our factory a t ___ ”
u Oh. Leave it. Slim.”
Once great
The North-east was once
one of the most flourishing
areas of industry in the UJC.
Its activity
was
centred
around its richness in coal.
The proximity of the coal
seams to the coast facilitated
the creation of a great ship­
building industry; this indus­
try in turn served the coal
magnates with easy transport
of their product to the London
Market
When the railways were
built, the coal industry in the
region suffered, fot other
areas, notably the Midlands,
were provided with transport
of their coal to London, and
the monopoly of the North­
east was overcome. Naturally
a decline in the shipping
industry was the result.
But up to this day, the
North . east
shipbuilding
industry has retained its
lead over other regions. It
still has some natural advan­
tages and, of more importance,
it has a strong tradition
behind it. The reasons for the
difficulties of the industry
have been reasons common to
all yards: firstly, a decline in
wottd demand, particularly
for
passenger ships,
and
secondly, increased competi­
tion from abroad.
Redundancies
Because of the importance
o f shipbuilding to the Northeast, these
thee* difficulties
diffl
have led
to redundancies, which have
of publicity.
We arranged interviews
with Mr. Rudkin, a director of
Vickers - Armstrong (S h ip ­
builders) Ltd., and with Mr.
Hunter, Chairman of Swan
Hunter* Ltd. The object was
to find out more about the
reasons for the decline of the
industry and to ascertain the
present position
of their
companies and whether more
redundancies can be expected.
There has been a large
influx of competition into the
shipbuilding market. Many
countries who
have now
established themselves on a
sounder economic footing are
building their own ships,
which up to now Britain
might have supplied. Theie
are far too many yards in
existence for the number of
ships actually being built.
The result is cut-throat com­
petition.
Each country is
anxious to keep its own ship­
building industry alive, and
consequently losses are being
incurred, rather than further
closures being allowed.
Japanese cheapness
Particular difficulties are
caused by Japan, who is pro­
ducing ships far cheaper
than is possible in the West,
at present. Lower labour costs
and differential prices in
9teel are making it possible
for her to produce almost
anything cheaper than her
competitors.
The ship-repairing side of
SHIPBUILDING —
AN EXAMINATION
the
Industry employs an
average of 40 per cent of the
labour total in shipbuilding
in this country. Freight trade
is at the moment going up,
with the result that ship­
owners are unwilling to bring
their ships in for repair.
This is a difficulty of a
temporary nature, however;
of more importance is the
decrease in the world passen­
ger trade, on account of
competition from
airlines.
British shipyards have always
had a very diverse produc­
tive c a p a c i t y , and the
North-east in particular has
produced
more
passenger
ships than some o f its rivals.
But this is not now standing
it in good stead.
Tailor-made
Quite a large proportion of
the redundancies have been
caused among fitters. It is
the bulk carriers which are
in greatest demand, and the
comparatively
new
shinbuilding industries, notably
of Japan and Sweden, have
from the start been able to
specialise in these. The big
Swedish yards are able to
build more runs o f identical
ship6. British shipowners are
apparently still much of a
mind that they want to take
tailor-made ships to suit their
individual requirements, and
this has been a restriction
upon a change coming about
in the form of British ship­

creases.
£7’ million in low interest
loans have been allowed to
shipowners, and have stimu­
lated orders.
World freight
rates are much better than
they have been'for the last
five or six years, and a large
D em arcatio n w a s ta g e
number o f orders have been
placed.
The North-east has
booked a higher proportion
of work than other regions in
recent months.
Precarious
Thus no more unemploy­
ment need be expected to
arise from the shipbuilding
industry io the North-east in
the near future. But the posi­
tion is falsified
by
the
Government loans. Most of
the orders completed rim at
a very narrow margin of
profit, some at a loss. This is
not to deny the social value
of maintaining employment
as far as is possible. But it is
a matter o f concern to all
parties as to what the out­
come of the present precari­
ous position will be.
Mr. Hunter's opinion was
that most yards are at the
moment enjoying a mere
breathing apace. Hie evil day
has been put oft, he said, to
keep work people in employ­
ment. Further rationalisation
must be implemented before
shipbuilding can be con­
sidered to be in an economic
position. The smafliler yards
must go out of business in the
next few years. The bigger
shipyards only wiflt survive.
A further drop In trade
must be anticipated for the
industry. But Mr. Rudkin
pointed out that this had at
least been postponed for the
next eighteen months bv re­
cent orders. During this” time
there is a possibility that
We were told that the pros­
pect* for the North-East are
as good if not better than for
the rest of the country.
The
yards are well aware of the
necessity to reduce costs and
strenuous efforts seem to be
being made to do this.
But
wihere most is lost to over­
seas competitors is in the use
of labour. Demarcation dis­
putes are not the time losses
of importance. It is the vast
wastage o< time which occurs
because of the need to keep
bringing another man to con­
tinue the same piece of
work.
‘There is great scope for

Organisation,” said Mr. Rudkin. “ You can see this kind of
thing through the whole
nation — we are just not pro­
ductivity minded. If the gas
man is to run a pipe to your
house the first thing he does
is to pitch a tent, light a fire
and brew a cup otf tea. Ship­
building is not the only in­
dustry to suffer from this. In
Germany and Scandinavia,
they work more steadily,
more consistently. And they
are more ready to accept
change and improvements.
W e don’t like change.’’
Abandon tradition
Mr. Rudkin is right. B u t
his words appffy to the manament as w el as to the
workers. We can never hope
to compete with the massproduction techniques of the
yards abroad until a far
higher degree of specialisa­
tion is achieved in our vards.

The steady flow of new ideas from I.C.I. laboratories springs from many minds. Not
only chemists, but also chemical engineers, engineers, mathematicians, physicists and
graduates in many other disciplines—all can make their specialist contribution to the
development of a new process or a new technique that means a step forward in some
field of endeavour. It is teamwork of this kind, in I.C.T. laboratories up and down
Great Britain, that is translating the Company’s £18,000,000-a-year research and
development programme into positive benefits for industry, medicine and agriculture.
Here are three examples:
Denis Healey MP., the shadow Minister of Defence,
MR. gave
a welcome talk on Foreign Affairs to the Labour
Club on Friday last.
He made it clear that Labour Foreign Policy would not
consist o f the pyramid of disparate personalities—whose
present apex was Sir Alee Douglas-Home—in current, de­
generate vogue with the Tories. Rather, he impressed, the next
government's foreign policy would, by its own happy integra­
tion, reflect a proper socialist attitude to the rest of Mankind.
Which is a ndce idea.
LIMITED
GROWTH
Because trees only grow so big, Communism will let Marx
down and will, in fact has, stopped spreading. Which would
be another nice Idea were it not fo r the fact that China is not
yet consolidate with an articulated Communist System. In fact
we must forget Power Politics and expend effort in keeping
Communism from the great areas of poverty by providing
food for the hungry, except in China; there it’s too late.
Mr. Healey was, U we can aooount for his complacency by
his admirable compression, aware of the real problems of the
ending o f the classical Cold War, and its unavoidable reemergence when settling the futures of embryonic nations;
that unwilling subje<4s did not always become willing part­
ners. H e seemed to hope that disarmament would intervene
before a Labour government had to really abandon independ­
ent nuclear arms.
INCONSISTENT
DICHOTOMY
Here again however, It seemed that a real attempt to com­
press, and not to generalise, was responsible for some of the
inconsistencies between Mr.
Healey’s human/political
dichotomy. Not the least of which was that the money saved
on H-bombs would be spent upon army recruitment, v
AID TO TIOPICAL MEDICINE
There a n tea million sufferers from leprosy in
the world today, despite the fact that the search
for a cure has been pursued since Biblical times.
An LCI. discovery, ‘EtisuP, offers new hope in
the attack on this disease. The great advantage
o f this drug, besides its efficacy, is simplicity of
treatment, which greatly appeals lo the patieot:
it is simply applied to the skin, and from there it
is absorbed into the system. After two or three
months the patient, though not yet fully cured, is
non-infectious, and can mingle once more with
his family.
NEW PASTUSES FOE OLD
Thousands o f acres o f British farmland r o w
nothing bat coarse grasses and weeds that pro­
vide little or no nourishment for cattle or sheep.
These useless, often unploughible, pastures can
now be made productive, through paraquat, the
latest discovery o f I.C.I/s agricultural scientists.
Paraquat, which is being marketed under th«
name of ‘Gramoxone’ W, lhakea it possible to
reseed these pastures without ploughing them up.
It destroys the old. useless sward and, because it
w t w to b t active the moment it touches the
ground, the soil can be reseeded almost at once
with rich, lush grasses. The result is new pas­
tures that will play their full part in producing
meat and milk for the nation. This latest I.C.I.
discovery will have as big an effect on grassland
fanning as did the earlier I.C.I. discovery of IM P E R IA L
'Agrosone', the first o f all selective weedkillers.
WALLPAPERS THAT REALLY WASH
Out of I.C.I. laboratoriea has recently come a
new P.V.C.-coated wallpaper, ‘Vymura’, that
sets a new standard of durability anddeanability
in wall coverings. The material has proved that it
can withstand scrubbing twice weekly for 12.
months, without detriment to its beautiful
designs. Ink stains, beetroot snd tomsto juke,
and cooking fats are completely removed from

rpH E Opposition Spokesman on Defence spoke to a record
-*• audience at the Labour Club last Friday might. He chose
as his topic not Defence (It’s an election year) but Foreign
Affairs generally, and then proceeded to expound his theories
as to the major political problems of the next ten years. “ In
politics your aim must be to survive problems, not to solve
them” was the Healey dictum and those naive idealists
amongst us who expected solutions should return to their
study of Hobbes.

array of extraneous material
ranging from beautiful filig r e e
silver spoons to the ugliest of
Victortefta — white porcelain
plaques of the 'Thou C. i
seest me” variety — in spite
of all this, the Surtees House
has not lost i<ts own per­
sonality. The great stone fire­
place still bears the initials
and coats of arms of its first
owners carved in the wooden
mantel. And even if it is dis­
graced by a portable electric
fire, and even though the
small low

fringed with very Victorian
bobbles, there is no denying
that the walls are Surtees

Bessie Surtees’
house
If you follow the steep road
of the side which winds down
to the left between the Cathedral and the Keep, you will
find yourself in the traditional centre o f commerce in
the city. Until the eighteenth
century this area, Sandhill
was a fashionable residential
quarter for merchants. ,,
Here in the midst of offices,
pubs and shops— all having a
distinctly nautical allure—is
a scoop for
all
intrepid
explorers
of
antiquity :
Surtees’ House It was from
this half timbered house that
the fair Bessie Surtees eloped
in 1772 with her neighbour
John Scott, who later became
Lord Eldon, Chancellor of
England in the reign of
George HI. _
.
The upper part of the house
is privately occupied but the
ground and first floors have
been taken over by an antique
dealer and are well worth
visiting. The tiny, musty

The Olde George
A visit to the Oflde George
— one of the three surviving
coaching inns of Newcastle—
can best be described as a
“ rich
experience.”
The
entrance to the inn is through
the “Olde George Yard’’ ait
the bottom of the Bdgtg
Market, down the street from
Bainhrddigee. The ground floor
and lounge have low raftered
ceilings. A few old prints add
local colour and one of these
shows the inn as it appeared
in 1648.

certain of its age. Popular

Saturday the University 1st XI drew with
Catterick Camp in a very interesting and
fluctuating match. Conditions were heavy, due tot
the sun softening the frozen ground, and conse­
quently the game slowed down towards the end.
H ie University were the
first to attack, and they held
the initiative for the first 20
minutes. In the tenth minute
T. Arica had a hard shot
saved by the opposing goal­
keeper and D. Davies scored
from the rebound. The pres­
sure was held on the Catterack goal following this and
five minutes later K. Molyneux volleyed

meant to be a clearance by a
defender into goal from 18
yards to make the score 2-0.

and scored through their
centre-forward again, only 80
seconds after Arica’s goal.
The University managed to
make an occasional attack,
but never looked as danger-/
ous as the Catterick forwards,
and inevitably they equalised
in approximately the 80th
minute, R. Johnson making
three saves before the ball
eventually went in.

Then the University re­

Catterick scored after 30

minutes of the half, posses­

the University went very
close to scoring on two or
three occasions.
