his letter a consular report setting

Senator Norris's position seems how

that it can be operated, if not by the
Government, then by private parties.
No matter who operates it, nothing can

average losses were between $ll,OOO

This showing has been made DESPITE
the fact that freight and passenger

uary the operations were conducted a,
loss of $3455,477. While the loss in
the operationg department in its entire

February the amount lost on voyage
