In many cases also it is implied that reprehensible actions on the part of the company's- employees are instigated or condoned by Ihe coni-many. These statements misrepresent, and are distinctly derogatory of the company.

According to harbor officials ihe .ship is now' principally use.l as a nome lor rais. i ne vessel is stated lo be overrun with the rodents. Heeenlly the vessel was sur veyed and discovered to be rating as A I at Llody's. She is still as seaworthy as before. A few months hack a repre sentative of San . Francisco in terests took an option on Ihe crafl. Shipping men stale that the idea vas to re-condition the vessel in a United Stales port and to put her on service under :he American flag in a South American run. In order lo bring the crnfl under the American flag a considerable amount o money would have to be spent on her, in an American port to give Ihe vessel U.S. rating. The Japan's sister ships, the "F.inpress of India" and the "Km press of China" have both disappeared. The China was wrecked oh Ihe coast of Japan a. num ber of years ago. The India was sold during the war and-was presented to the Ilritisk government as a hospital hip by her pur chaser, an Indian rajah, and was lornedoed. The Japan is thus bowed Kmpresscs.
