I happened to be onthe same trip that the Senator mentioned yesterday. and I was wondering if the Senator felt that our American ships should not cater to the trade of people who live in Japan and China. I am in general agreement with what the Senator says. but if we are going to have Chinese. Japanese. and other Asiatics travel on American shipsand I think the American ships need all the income they can getit might well be that some small leeway should be allowed in the case of .the stewards department. which comes in contact with that class of passengers. I do not know whether 20 percent is the correct figure. but it seems to me that that might be taken Into consideration.
