Hamburg. American Plans.

4. BALM, general director OF the Ham
! burg American Line, says that II Is al
mos, impossible to foresee the effect OF the
opening OF the canal upon the commerce
! Of the world. The plans Of his company
include a line from New York TO Valpa-
raise via the canal. for which at least
one l6,5Oo-ton steamer was contracted Tor
some time ago a new service from emma
and japan 10 Honolulu. Portland, Seattle
and San Francisco has been instituted in
view Of the expected boom on the Paclnc
Coast. The capital OF the company was
last year increased by sS.25o,ooo.
Three Of the smaller Hamburg COM
panies are equippins themselves to get
their share OF the expected new business
The German Australian and the Cosmos
lines have decided to establish a joint
service to Honolulu, which will be routed
through the canal as soon as II Is nm
ished, and the South American shipping
Company has increased Its capital by
g. 500. 90 TO build two big triple-screw
steamers.
The Hamburg Americans big rival, the
North German Lloyd Of Bremen. has made
no announcement yet regarding its Pan
anna plans. but It's managing director
Philip Heinekin, has spoken SO optimistic
ally about the great openings for German
commerce on the West coast Of America
that there is no doubt Of the company's
intention TO be nowlse behind the Ham,
burg companies. Mr.. Heinekin believes
that the canal will open big market In
the Orient for steel. iron, woollens, cottons
and other products of American industry.

hunks out OF a Hungarian rhapsody.
As result, Bellinfs career as street

where the German East Asian and German
West American lines can be linked up to
advantage will the Panama Canal come
into consideration as route between
German and East Asian harbors. Whicn
route would be the more advantageous
can be determined in each case only
by experience.
"Ali in all, II can be said that the
Panama Canal will be highly advan-
tageous to German commerce. but II
signifies by no means a reversal Of con-
ditions or a new epoch for the German
maritime industry. On the other hand,
the canal will have none Of the econo-
mic or other drawbacks for Germany
which It will have for other nations,
for example, Great Britain and Japan.
Tho full economic significance OF the
Panama Canal will make itself apparent
only gradually. At FIRST we may expect
hot competition between a number OF
steamship lines. The survivors will have
the commerce in their hands. Only the
fttest will survive Apparently all the
great steamship companies OF the world
are preparing for this battle.
Facing, as II does. both oceans con-
clndes Count Reventlow, the United
states will profit double from the opening
of the canal connecting them. but 1t needs.
above all, to take advantage OF this,
ships and lots OF them. The Pacific, how
ever, will never become the rival Of the
Atlantic. as an ocean OF equal importance.
The world and It's commerce will continue
10 centre around the Atlantic: the COM
merclal centre OF gravity will never be
moved TO the Pacific. though second
centre may be created there. In my opin-
ion. the most important results OF the
canal will be manifested in the political
consequences which will ensue when the
business worlds, the industrial life or the
East and West, the North and South OF
the American Continent are drawn near
er, perhaps even Joined firmly into an
economic whole"
