Move to obtain lower water rates across Pacific ports
Secretary of Commerce Redfield arranged conferences with the Shipping Board to seek lower water transport rates between Pacific coast ports and China and Japan. Investigations by firms supplying routes to the Orient showed rates from Pacific ports to eastern ports at 50 to 60 dollars per ton, versus around 12 dollars per ton from Liverpool to the Orient. The Shipping Board indicated no U.S. rate reduction is possible at this time. Redfield cabled a protest to Chairman Hurley in Paris and organized further meetings here.
