The Export Lines agreed with the United States Lines that the steamship Washington. one of the United States Lines steamers. should be permitted to operate upon the Export trade route. and that one of the Export Lines ships should operate in conjunction with it. and that the two lines should divide equally the passenger profit from both. What is wrong about that? What is unfair or monopolistic about that? The arrangement failed because the Maritime Commission refused to approve it. If there are any refugees in Lisbon who have been unable to obtain passage upon steamships. it is not because the Export Lines refused to carry them or refused to allow another line to come in and take part of the traffic. but simply because the Maritime Commission did not want the steamer Washington to traverse that route.
