LOSING MONEY, DESPITE BIG SUBSIDY

a profitable mail contract with the
British government which has been
the life of its business since its in
auguration, its railway connections al
so not being hampered by rate re-
strictions.
THE one significance of the addi-
lions to these fleets under conditions
of loss and encouragement lis that the
immediate future of trade in the Far
East is expected to Justify such new
and immense expenditures. This is
what the managers of these lines
frankly state. 1t is evident that these
great companies, which are in excel
lent position to Judge trade possibili-
ties and actualities, agree that the
early trade development of China and
the Philippines and the Far East gen.
orally demands preparation by the
ocean carriers. Their judgment is
supported by immense expenditures,
which will represent direct losses #
the expected developmnt does not ma.
terialize.
These immensely important devel-
opments in shipping demonstrate
again that the general trade situation
in the East merits the careful atten-
ton of every American manufacturer.
While there is abundant talk of what
the future in China promises, much
of this rests on theory and possibili-
ties that practical men have not been
disposed to go into the matter thor
oughly. Thousands of miles of rail
ways are being built, ships are be-
ing constructed and equipped, and the
demand for machinery of all kinds
and foreign goods of all sorts-cotton
goods, foodstuffs of many varieties,
medicines, and even luxuries-in ma
terial volume is constantly increasing.
There may be no great commercial
revolution in China for some time, but
the present increasing trade on the
whole from year to year should be re-
garded for it's immediate worth Chi,
nese exports to the United States are
not only constantly increasing in vol
ume, but increasing In variety, an
represent constantly lettering condi-
lions and more stable trade.
"One strong element in the imme-
diate growth of Pacific shipping is
the unusual development of the Philip.
pine trade. The commerce between
the islands and the contiguous terri
tory of the United States under the
new tariff has almost doubled, and
the full measure of increase has not
yet been felt. With the increase of
railways in the Philippines, for which
there is a splendid opportunity, and
with the increased shipping service
between the several islands of the
Philippine group now being establish
ed further opportunity for transPa-
cific shipping is afforded. In all this
trade it will be interesting to note
the possibility of success for an Amer
lean line or lines in competition with
the steamers of at least two other ma
tions which receive governmental sup
port"

Consul General Geo. E. Anderson, Of
Hongkong, describing Pacific
shipping conditions, says: "A remark
able situation in shipping exists on
the Pacific Ocean. 1t is understood
that at least two of the three lines
ger accommodation across the Pacific
ger Accommodations across the Pacific
from American and Canadian ports
have not been profitable for several
years, and yet all three lines announce
their intention of Immediately con-
structing larger, faster and better
ships for the trans-Pacific service.
"The first announcement was made
by the Togo Kisen Kaisha (Japanese)
which has a sailing from San Fran
cisco to Hongkong once a month on
an average, with the two fastest ships
on the Pacific, each of 1000 tons dis
placement, turbine engines, and lux
urious accommodations. The com
pany is building a third ship of the
same class, slightly larger, with tur-
bine engines and superior accommo.
dations, and its announced policy is
of further construction after the new
ship is launched next July.
These Japanese ships have always
had freight traffic agreement and
joint passenger schedule agreement
with the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany, the American line operating the
chief passenger and freight service
between San Francisco and Hongkong
by way of Honolulu and Japanese and
Philippine and Chinese ports. In July
| last the Japanese company withdrew
from the arrangement and established
freight traffic agreement with the
Western Pacific Railway the new
ACKNOWLEDGMENT line in the United
| States.
"The Pacific Mail Company then
commenced constructing two new
steamers, larger, faster and better
than anything else on the Pacific, of
the George Washington class of pas
| senger ships on the Atlantic. The
plans for these new ships in addition
to the four fine vessels which the com.
pany is operating have created a sen.
sation in far eastern shipping.
"The Canadian Pacific Railway an
nounces that the Empress Line, be-
TWEEN Vancouver and Japanese and
Chinese ports and carrying British
mails, is to be augmented at once by
constructing two new ships of size
and speed equal to the Empress ships
on the Atlantic, with still larger and
faster ships for the Atlantic trade.
The trip from Yokohama to Vancou-
yer would thus be made in consider.
ably less than ten days.
The Togo Kisen Kaisha has been
Improbable for several years, al.
though it enjoys subsidy from the
Japanese government of $2,235,OOO ain
nually for the American line alone
or $4,1S4,969 for all it's lines. The loss
is partly ascribed to the attitude Of
the Chinese people toward that line
and partly to general business condi-
lions. The company's deficit at the
beginning of its current season
amounted to $532,635 gold. 1t is now
reported as making some money and
gradually recovering its prosperity
but it's deEct carried forward at the
beginning of the current term exceed
ed s4O4,OO gold. The Pacific Maj
Company enjoys no subsidy or mai
trade, and it's general business posi-
ton rests upon what it can get from
the trade. The Empress Line enjoys

IN MASSACHUSETTS

Clinton tMass) Item: The wonder
ful beauty of the Hawaiian Islands
was presented pictorially as never
before to a Clinton audience on Sun.
day evening, when Rev. Roland b.
Dodge, a resident missionary on the
Islands, gave a steropticon lecture in
the Congregational church to an au-
dience of about 600 people. Henry
d. Martin was in charge of the stere-
opticon and the pictures were large
and clear.
Rev. Mr.. Dodge, Formerly of West
Boylston and for five years working
in the islands, gave explanations of
the views and told much of the story
of the lives and customs of the in
habitants, of the wonderfully beautiful
scenery, including the Horticulture and
horticulture, and of the volcanoes
with their cTaters and lava forma-
tons, the industries ana also of the
religious work which is being done.
The interest of the audience was sus-
tanned throughout an hour and a half.
The first slide located the Hawaiian
group of islands in the mid Pacific
ocean and then followed views of the
city of Honolulu; of the highways,
bordered with royal palms and hibis-
Gus; of the parks, dense with tropical
vegetation; of the hotels and public
buildings; of the churches, many of
them built by the natives The fish
ermen and native methods of fishing
were illustrated and pictures of the
strange denizens of the deep there
caught were presented. Church and
other groups served to show the mix
et population of the islands and the
love of the people for bright colored
c.olhing. Mountain and shore scenes
were of marvellous beauty.
The volcanic views, showing a
crater as large III area as the CITY of
New York with it's strange formations,
and of the crater of an active volcano,
filled with molten rocks; also the
streams of lava running down until
they met the waters Of the ocean were
most novel and interesting.
! Other views presented various as
I poets of the sugar industry, the fields
of cane, the fumes carrying the cane
to the mills and the processes within
the mills; the raising of rice and
cocoanut and date palms; the bread
fruit trees, the wonderful Towering
trees and tree ferns.
The leper colony of 5000 acres with
views of some of the stricken people
set forth the self-sacrifcing work
there being done.
The missionary work and its needs
was briefly and Interestingly told and
a generous collection was taken to
aid Rev. Mr.. Dodge IN mis- labors.
The audience got a new and alto
gether valuable idea of this island

Arizona TO Ab0Dt Recall

When President Taft held up
Arizona statehood bill until the re-
call of Judges should be stricken
from the new constitution, there
was suspicious silence IN Arizona.
This paper remarked at the time
that it seemed useless to refuse state
hood to Arizona when as soon as she
became q state the clause that gave
}lr. Taft such vartuous qualm,
could be Immediately adopted by
the rev sovereign state. Now the
following from Auzonarcvoa'3 ,heI

question
"AJ mass meeting Of l5 chief
democrats Of Graham coug., hold.
60 decide on the question b aaaeg
ng statehood and eliminating the
recall Of the Judiciary features Of
the constitution, it was unaa.mous-
ly decided 10 vote for striking cut
the recall provision and to pledge |
all candidates for every office, and |
especially for the Legislature, to
provide for the immediate replace
ment of the measure after admission
has been consumed"
In brief, the Arizonlans, having
been held up at the front door, pro
pose to enter by the back alley.
The second statehood bill, which |
was signed by Mr.. Taft on August
2lst, after he had voted the act of
August Sth, provides that Arizona
shall not become a state until the
Judiciary recall clause of the con
stitution has been eliminated. But
the Arizonians, as the foregoing dis
patch shows, have already advised
a way to get around that ban.
They will mend their constitution
as the act requires, but st the first

and 50 The recall Of Judges will be
saved Richmond Journal.
