Fostering Progress

It was the desire of the N.Y.K., for years past to bring about an improve

ment in the trans-Pacific service by

making now additions to the fleet to meet the requirements of the travelling ¦public and to cope with the future ex- pansion of trade. It was thus decided to build three new motor ships for the Californian service and three more for the Seattle service. The "Asama Maru" was the first of the new ships to be employed on the former service. "The Asama Maru" was being intro- duced to the Pacific run in the hope of meeting the requirements of the com-

Mr. Southor's Reply

In reply the Colonial Secretary ex- pressed thanks on behalf of all pre sen: for the wonderful hospitality shown by the N.Y.K., and the officers of the ship. He recalled the conditions under which he travelled many years 'ago when he first went to the Ceylon with the accommodation offered by the "Asama Maru," and expressed the
