cruising speed of 45 miles per hour. With such a ship voyages
could easily be made from the south coast to the Riviera or

small wood or to a buoy on the water.

Possibilities also exist for an enterprising firm to start a
series of short pleasure trips at various fashionable seaside
resorts, and until the novelty had worn off the demand for such
excursions will probably be far in excess of the supply.

2. Passenger transport.--In the re-organization of the world
after this devastating war the business man's time will be of
even more value than it was before. This country is largely
bound up with the United States of America in business interests
which necessitate continual visits between the two countries.
The time occupied by steamer in completing this journey is at
present about five days. If this time can be cut down to two and
