"The Pacific Mail Steamship company
is not going out of the Transpacific
business. - Freight In the orient is so
plentiful that the company can afford
to turn down all cargo bookings and b
as Independent as It wants to be. And
if the' company really wanted to sell.
I'll find a; purchaser an AmtrUvin
buyer for their ships. But there 1
not a-chance not a chance that the
company will sell." ;
This was the statement, made - to.lay
by Philip Manson, general manager of
the Atlantic Coast Steamship company,
who has just returned from an extend
ed trip to theorient. --
"The oriental ' business, has become
so large,- he said, , "and so profitable
that the Pacific Mall Is not goin? to
abandon it. , That Is my opinion, Nev
ertheless, the Chinese shippers are very
much perturbed over the report."7
Manson is said to have been the se
cret emissary of President Wilson an J
Secretary McAdoo to the orient to in
vestigate for them the trade conditions
and the probable effect of the Ia-VoI-lette
seamen's bill on the trade with
those countries. He was their personal
adviser last spring when the ship pur
chase bill -was up for discussion in
