PUBLIC LINE
WOULD DRIVE
OUT OTHERS
>.-1 T. B. Watson, general representa
-'Tive of the Pacific Steamship Com
pany, who came from the westward
today on the Admiral Farragut, be
iives the Territory of Alaska would
make a grave mistake if it entered
the transportation business. He says
it would eventually drive out all com
petition, and result to the disadvan
tage of the territory.
, Mr. Watson is making an official
f tour of inspection of Alaska. Speak
| ing of the proposed Territorial Ship
ping Board and Transportation line,
he said:
“I undrestand that the territorial
, legislature has been urged to do the
necessary to enable the territory to
1 enter the steamship business by chart
ering government ships and placing
! them on the run between Alaska and
* Puget Sound, also to establish an
i Alaska Shipping Board with commis
sioners to have not less than ten
I years experience in the shipping busi
ness who are to receive a salary of
$10,000 a year.
i “Our company is not taking any
notice of the proposed legislation, nor
will it enter any protest as it feels
: very certain that, should the proposed
( plan be carried out, the people of
I Alaska are in for a big disappoint
I ment. Private corporations are not
\ going to enter into competition with
k the government and it is a sure
i thing that when the government en
ters into the business of operating
vesesls, it will mean the gradual with
drawal and elimination of independent
) service.
t“Our company lost $272,479 on all
of its Alaska business last year, and
does not expect to make any this
year, notwithstanding the somewhat
increased rates. We have made a
great many attempts to charter gov
ernment vessels, but have invariably
'found that it would mean a heavy
ikloss, as it is an impossibility for any
fone to come out even on any Alaska
Ibusiness at the charter rates now in
'effect,and if the territory goes into the
steamship business with chartered
boats they should be prepared to lose
a good many hard dollar, on each one
of the vessels they operate.
“If the Alaska government should
operate a boat on the Nome run, it
would mean that our company would
have to withdraw the Senator, as she
is profitably engaged in other trade,
and unless we could get all of the
business at the increased rates, the
ship would lose money. The same ap
plies to both the southwestern and
southeastern route, as there is only a
limited business to handle, so if the
territory operates vessels on these
routes, it would leave us free to with
draw our ships to engaged in a more
profitable trade.
“We have been hanging on to these
Alaska routes and providing the best
service possible with the hope that
the future would reward us for so
doing.
“It is, of course, useless for our
company to oppose the proposed legis
lation, as we would be most certainly
be accused of misstatemnts, profiteer
ing and sundry civil crimes, although
as a matter of fact we are playing an
honest steamship game with every de
sire to help build up Alaska and its
industries, realizing that it is only by
helping build up the country that we
maj expect any reward.
« “‘Our cards are all on the table.
There is nothing to cover up or con
ceal. If the people of Alaska wish
to freeze out the legitimate transpor
tation companies, now doing business
in Alaskan waters , then the com
panies will seek new fields and other
routes."

PREMIER CLEMENCEAU
WILL WRITE A BOOK
PARIS , April 23 (by Associated
Press).—Premier Clemenceau,too, will
write a book after the peace confer
ence is over.
“As soon as the peace problems
have.-been solved,” he said recntly,
“and I have finished my task, I shall
take a rest that, after fifty years of
politics, I think I have well earned.
And, in my retirement, I shall write
a book which perhaps no one will
read but which I, at all events, shall
be glad to have written."
It has been stated by those close
to Premier Clemenceau that it was
his earnest desire to finish his pres
ent task and retire. His vitality has
been remarked upon recently as being
extraordinary and the virility and
vigor of former days has been evident.
Americans who have called upon
the French premier following his re
turn to health say that he is full of
humor and enjoys a jovial existence.
