MEET COMPETITION, -
New York, April 12:-Captain- Robert. Dollar, head of the Dollar steamship lines, to-day declared himself in favour of prohibition on American ships on the high seas.
Commenting on the ruling which allows American, vessels to serve alcoholic beverages while outside the territorial waters of the United States Captain Dollar declared:
"It is not necessary for American ships to sell liquor in order to com- pete successfully and profitably with the ships of other nations in the passenger trade

"We have done, as well without
liquor that our competitors of for- eign countries have accused me of hogging business. Our business without liquor now is good enough that we now are faced with the problem of getting more ships to take care of the passenger traffic available."
