STEAMER OFFICIAL
HERE FROM JAPAN
Arrives on New Liner ChiyO on
Way to Mexico and South
America

D Tsukahara, vice president of the
Togo Kisen Kaisha, who arrived here
yesterday on the company's new tur-
olne liner Chiyo Maru, is the man in
whose mind Japan's campaign for COM
mercial domination in the Pacific had
It's inception.
Tsukahara is famous In Japan as
the founder of Japan's merchant ma
rfne, and he looked profoundly happy
yesterday as he pointed out the beau
ties of the latest addition to Japan's
now great feet of merchantmen.
1t was 30 years ago that Tsukahara
laid before the Japanese government
the then startling proposition that
Japan might just as we'll have a mer-
chant marine of it's own. The bureau
of merchant marine was organized and
Tsukahara was placed in charge. What
has been accomplished is matter OF
history. and Tsukahara is not finished
yet.
He is on his way to Mexico and
South America to make arrangements
for connecting these countries with
Japan by new steamship line. The
Nippon Maru and America Maru, dis.
placed by the Tenyo and Chiyo, will be
the first ships on the new line the
terminal points of which will be Hong
kong and Valparaiso. The Hongkons
Maru will go on the new run when
the third big turbine liner has beer
built. The ships will call at Honolulu
both going and coming. and will also
call at Salina Cruz, Callao and Iquique
In addition TO contract with the
Japanese government for the trans
portation of nitrate, the new line viii
be helped with substantial subsidy
which will insure its permanence anC
give 1t wide latitude in the matter OF
meeting competition.
