cambridge Colby of the shipping
board in announcing the requisitien
rates said: .#s
''The foregoing rates will become
operative in October Is, 1917. The
vessels embraced in the requisition,
except in so far as actually required
for government service. will be left in
the hands of the present owners to be
operated for government account, but
subjected all times to such disposition
as the board may direct.
"a certain number of the reQuisi-
toned vessels, which are required for
the continuing and exclusive service
of the navy and army, will be taken
over on bare ship basis. Then rate
Of hire on this basis has been fixed
by the board at $415 per lightweight
ton for cargo boats, and S5.75 per ton
gross for passenger steamers of II
knots speed, with an additional allow
ance of so cents per ton for each knot
in excess Of II and up to Is knots.
"All the foregoing rates are tenta.
tive. The board will carefully examine
the results of operations under the

| which are earning less than 100000

It is believed here that while the
schedule worked out by the shipping
board will tend to decrease rates in
most places in the world it will have
entirely a different effect regarding
the Hawaiian service because Of the
low freight rate maintained by the
Matson company ever since the war
began. .... .....
The shipping men who 'prophesy an
increase in freight rates, however. do
not contend that the rates will natur-
ally be the maximum amount allowed
for the better class of steamers for
the Hawaii trade, but a tonnage rate
will be equitable. The official an
nouncement of the rates stated that
they were tentative and that the re-
suits Of operation were to be care
