SPEEDING-UP ON THE

PACIFIC.

FROM Yokohama to-day the pride of Japan's merchant fleet will start on her maiden voyage across the

travel in recent years. Such in- creased movement of passengers as has occurred in the last five years

has been chiefly in the third-class, apparently due to carriage of labourers to and from the Philip pines. In the campaign for pai senger travel, therefore, speed and comfort will be dominant considera. tions, hence the tendency to shorten the time for the long trip over the Pacific. Practically the only note worthy increase in first-class trans- Pacific passenger travel in recent years has been in the round-the- world tourist travel. Commercial men also are showing an increased disposition to plan their tours round-the-world instead of cross- Pacific and return. This is es pecially true as important Ameri, can business firms increase their foreign relations, and it becomes advantageous to include Asiatic and European ports in a single

tour.

The tendency toward expansion of exports and imports between the United States and Asiatic countries, and also with Australia, augurs well for the future development of freight trafic on the Pacific.
