That report says : In the first place. the American line to Australasia operates In Pacific waters. where the cost of fuel. labor. etc.. Is considerably greater than at Atlantic ports. Secondly. the line is required to maintain a very high speed. Furthermore. the ships of the company employ exclusively white crews. instead of the Asiatics utilized by many other Pacific companies. This American line to Australasia not only performs the best service. but now receives the lowest compensation of all lines running to Australasian ports. This service is so regular and swift that great numbers of Australasian men of business. even when bound to Europe. are brought en route to the United States. and thereby become regular purchasers of American merchandise.
