It has also been put for. ward that the Far Eastern, and southern routes are better suited for increased speed than the Atlantic it, where the increase during the past. decade has been about six kaots an hour. To answer these matters, from the bottom.up wards: 'It is the short passage that has the advantage over the longer one in scope for. accteration, a'mply because every knot per hour' put on over fifteen or six. #eans, proportionately, a much larger

increase in the cost of propulsion, efficiency of engines, and resistance of reverberation. While the Sues Canal remales in its present condition and continues to be the route to the Far East, it is next to impossible to run even eighteen knot boats, What is more, the great increase in speed across the Western Oceas has been only on its northern part. No steamer running through the tropics has put on more than half that acceleration in the same number of years. So far from a decrease of rom twenty-four to thirty-six hours being a small matter on such a long, run; without holding any brief 'fer the P. and O, it means
big increase both in the capital cost of vessels and in running them. It must also be remembered that all acceleration in speed means diminished earning powers, owing to the finer lines needed in the craft, and to the greater amount of coal that has to be carried to gain that increase.

As an illustration of what high speed means, Bir William ya lol the recent Colonial Conference; apropos of the "ali red route" (which, by the by, is the only concrete outcome of the Conference), that an increase ofthree knots on fifteen per hour meant actually doubling the coal consumption: Experts in marlbe. engineering an1 shipbuilding say that this statement is perfectly accurate, and. hat it means a comparatively great cost in the craft themselves; the governing ruls being that the coal consumption increases at the same rate se the cube of the speed.
With reference more directly to the all red route," it could not alternate properly with the P. and O. service by the Suez Canal. The two services would be mutually destructive.
