Route to South America via Caaal
M l 11 Be Opened. So Sooa as Gov- "
erasaeat Releases Ships.
Royal Mall line officials hav. not
made known plans for a resumption of
the Portland-Oriental-European serv
ice as yet, nor of a line proposed from
London through the canal to this coast,
which waa under way previous to the
war, but in a circular from the. New
York office it ls stated the company
will resume sailings to South American
ports via the canal as soon as certain
vessels' are released from ' the service
of the British Admiralty.
Tne statement was elicited as a re
sult of a recent discussion at "Washing
ton for th. United States Government
to Inaugurate steamer service to South
American ports. Concerning future
plans, the circular says:
The Roysl Mall Steam Packet Company
snd the Pacific Steam Navigation Company
have for the past 73 years been Ultimately
associated with every phs.e of paaMnge.r
and freight traffic to and from the eev.ral
republics of South America and Just
prior to the declaration of war the latter
company announced the extension of Its
service to New York via the Panama Csnal,
which, unfortunately, aas postponed, ow
ing to the European war, but la by no meane
lo.t sight of. ''.','
As soon as the Psclflo Steam Navigation
Company's steamers, which are now In th.
British Government's employ, are available,
the extension of their fortnightly service
through the csnal to Mew York will be put
Into effect. ' ...
The fleet will consist of twin snd triple
screw steamers up to 15.000 tons register.,
the largest typo each having high-class sc
commodatlon for over 1000 passengers snd
cargo capacity of 10.000 tons.
The itinerary will be as follows:
Service fortnightly Liverpool. French,
Spanish and Portuguese ports, Atlantic
Islands Braxilian. Uruguayan snd Argentine
ports through Straits of Magellan, Chilean
and Peruvian ports; through Panama Canal,
Havana. New York, following the same
itinerary In the reverse direction.
In conjunction with the intermediate
service already in operation from Cristobal
through the canal to Ecuadorian. Colom
bian, Peruvian snd Chilean ports, snd back
to Cristobal, touching at" the same ports,
the company's new service (besting in mind
the fleet which msy be made available ag
gregstes over 1,000.000 tons) it would seem
would fill the desire for fact, modern stesm
shlp connections between North and South
America.
The Royal Mall steam Pscket Company
and the Pacific Steam Navigation Company
will keep constantly In touch wltb the de
mands of the traffic and, should It warrant,
they will motease the serivces accordingly.
Regular organised passenger snd freight
line, are 'in th. service between Braxilian
snd Argentine ports snd New York ao that
with the advent of the new Pacific Stesm
Navigation Company service. It would seem
that prlvste enterprise with high-class
steamship facilities should afford adequate
service from New York to both the west
and east coasts of South America and vice
versa. . '
