Some time ago North German Lloyd made the first move toward precipitating
I trans-oceanit war when it announced plans for the construction of the Europa and Bremen, two new liners which were to be "the finest afont." They will be completed this year and are expected to make the North Atlantic crossing in five and a half days. At the same time re- building of the Columbus, with the same end in view, was undertaken. It was widely predicted at the time that when these ships were put in to service their operation would re- salt disastrously for Hapag pas-
senger revenues.

increased 50 per cent because their improved speed will make it pos sible for them to make more trips in a given period and thereby potentially add to the Hapag re-
Yeaves.
Moreover, the writer suggested that Hapag's credit will not be strained much as it would have been under a new construction pro- gramme and the credis thus pre served may come in handy should world competitive, conditions ulti- mately necessitate a radical im- provement of its fleet. He thought it would be wiser to wait and see what the White Star, Cunard, French, Canadian Pacide and the United States lines were planning and accomplisking in the way of new building.
The Duchess of Richmond, the latest ship to be added to the C.P.R fleet in the Atlantic and one of the four vessels of the "Duchess" type built for the ser vice between Liverpool and Mon- treal, left the Mersey last month on her maiden trip, a cruise to the Mediterranean and the West Coast of Africa. She is a vesarl of 20,000 tons, and has accommodation for 2,000 passengers. She carries a fül! complement of about 400 first-class passengers on the cruise. Lika all. the other racert vessels of the C.P.R., she was built on the Clyde, where there is now under construc tion the new Empress of Britain, of 40,000 tons, which, it is hoped, will reduce the passage from South- ampton to Quebec by & day,
