Another factor contributing to the result is the fact that America was not in service during the asa- son of heavy business last summer and consequently deprived the line of considerable revenue which it might have had from this source.

£93,000 Deficit

The other reasons why the result of the past year compares so un- favourably with the gross operating profit of £74,200 during the fiscal year 1927 are not given. There is a feeling, however, that the addi- tion of new tonnage to the fleets of several competing lines is, in a large measure, responsible.

The total revenue earned by the vessels of the United States Lines in the fiscal year 1928, amounted to about £3,200,000, but the total ex- penses resulted in the £93,000 de- ficit.
