Growth of Pacific Trade

Reporting to his Government at
Washington, United States Consul
George e. Anderson, of Hongkong,
declares that a remarkable situation
exists in trans-Pacific shipping con.
ditions. He says it is generally un-
derstood that at least two of the
three lines which afford the bulk of
the passenger accommodation across
the Pacific from American and Cana
dian ports have not been profitable
for several years Nevertheless, ac-
cording to the Consul General, all
three lines have declared their inten-
tion Immediately to construct larger,
faster and better ships.
"The first announcement" says the
Consul General, "was made by the
Toyo 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 $1,000
tons displacement, turbine engines,
and luxurious accommodations. The
company is building a third ship of
the same class, slightly larger, with
turbine engines and superior accom-
modation, and its announced policy
is Of further construction after the
new ship s launched next July.
"These Japanese ships have always
had a freight traffic agreement and a
joint passenger schedule agreement
with the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany the American line operating
the chief passenger and freight serv-
ice between San Francisco and Hong
kong by way of Honolulu and Japan
ese and Philippine and Chinese ports.
In July last the Japanese company
withdrew from the arrangement, and
established a freight traffic agree
ment with the Western Pacific Rail
way, the new transcontinental 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 Ger
man ships on the Atlantic. They are
to be of 10000 tons displacement, will
