M. Komada, assistant nxnager of the Osaka Mercantile Steamship Company of farkan, in seeking bortbing privileges for his exmpany's rasels at this port, has ex- 818 pressad the opin`on that San Francisco will become the centre of distribution for freight canges between the Atlantic Coast and Asia. This is the reason advanced for abandoning the present terminal at Tacoma,

It has been assumed that San Francisco wonhl hocome a port of call for resuela sailing between Asia and the Eastern coast of this continect via the Panama coal. ruaning in to take on fuel, passengers and small shipments of freight. Komada does not accept this assumption.

He calls attention to the probability that all freight originating on the Atlantic Coast for shipment to Asis will be billed to San Francisco, here to be segregated and transhipped to the particular ports of destination. The Marau would apply to Oriental freight destined for the Miantic Coast. In other words San Francisco is that a great cleat ing-house for merchandise and passengers moving between the East and the West.

If Komada's conjectures are right-and they doubtless are there is all the more reason for hasten the construction of harbour facilities and for a change of sys. tem and control that will permait of a re- indjustment and reduction of charges.

There is a vast difference between the commeres arising from export and import and that arising from transhipment or purely terminal business. The former is Jazely, if not whodly, lized by the pro duction and the consumption of the coun try ributary to the port, modified in reure by the confluence of rivers and the convergence railroads, Such com- there is rigidly fixed by considerations that do not depend upon harbour Lucilities or harbour tolls, Distribution commerce
