Schwerin gave the Commission an illustration of what this would mean. He took the China. the Korea. and the Movgolia. three ships operated by his line. and gave a comparison as to what would be the additional cost to operate those ships with American crews in competition with Japanlese ships and with European steamship lines which have mixed crewsEuropeans. Asiatics. and Lascars. Hesaid: First. the China. a transPacific passenger boat of 5.060 gross tonnage. I will designate the crew composed of European officers and Asiatics as a mixed crew against a crew composed entirely of Europeans as a European crew. The Chinas monthly pay roll with a mixed crew is $3.175.52. with a European crew is $6.715. so that the loss per annum operating with a European crew only would be $42.743.76. Secondly. the Korea and her sister ship. the Siberia. of 11.284 gross tonnage.
