It may be recalled that the last Dolları liner to call at Shanghai was the s, President Hoover, 22,000 ton sister-ship of the President Coolidge. She was arriving here from Manila and Hongkong on August 30 when she was mistaken by Chinese military planes for a Japanese transport and bombed. Seven persons were hurt in the mishap and the liner proceeded direct to Kobe and the U.S.A. without calling at Shanghai. The Chinese Government later paid the company compensation, but the Dollar ships did not visit Shanghai since that incident and President Coolidge is the first of their vessels to enter this harbour since August Jast year.
