Trans-Pacific trade is about to receive its first great help from the United States Shipping Board (says the San Francisco Charaber of Commerce Journal).

This information is contained in news dispatches which have been received from Washington, which state that definite plans have been made to allocate severa,

to th large passenger ships Pacific trade not later than nex May.

These ships. together with ail new ships now building, will" according to report, be sold to purchasers who will guarantee that they will maintain the trade routes designated by the Shipping Board.

All vessels assigned to the Pacific trade will be of the very best type of combined freight and passsenger ships. Present infor- mation is that they will be about 535 feet long, will have the best passenger accommodations and will, in addition, carry from 12,000 tu 16,000 tons of freight.

The fact that these vessels will ply in certain prescribed routes will give a great impetus to trade development inasmuch as mer. chants will be able to figure on sailings from six to nine months ahead, and will know definitely that the schedules will be main- tained.
