Opposition to Dollar Interests

Considerable opposition in certain circles is founded on the possibility that the Dollar interests may ultimately control the vessels, and will be remembered that at the time the old Pacific Steamship Ca. went out of business, the Dollar Line came in for a great deal of criticism, In this country, certainly in real shipping circles, admitted that no other company exists at the present time capable of taking over and efficiently running those vessels, yet the Dollar line universally known for its enterprise and for the efficiency of its service, reaps all the criticism.

All the same, it appears to me to have the direct effect of good advertising, and probably by the time reaches you telegraphic advice may have been received that the Dollar tender for the five vessels has been accepted.

When a cargo of gasoline coming: from California vid the Panama Canal, and destined for England, is Tanded at New Orleans and there is mixed, with some mid-continent il and then shipped on to England, does that make of the merchandise new, product or can the journey be regarded as a continuous voyage. from California to Great Britain?
