TOUR OF FRIENDSHIP

Americans’ Goodwill Visit VOYAGE OF LUXURY LINER WHEN the Matson liner Malolo steams into the quiet waters of the Auckland Harbour tomorrow morning she will be nearing the end of her 23,000 miles’ voyage of friendship and goodwill.

This great luxury liner, the most palatial ever to visit Auckland, was

chartered by the Californian Chamber of Commerce for a tour of the countries of the Pacific Ocean.

She carries 350 passengers, many of whom were able to afford 12,000 dollars for suites de luxe. Among the tourists are some of the most influential citizens of the United States.

In every way the Malolo is the last word in comfort. Her decks, of which there are seven, are spacious, and provide all the accommodation necessary for amusement. Almost every cabin has Us own telephone, and the air in all staterooms and public rooms is automatically changed every three minutes.

There is a splendid swimming pool and hundreds of private baths, a picture theatre, hospital, dental service, verandah cafe, library, gymnasium, two dance floors, and a beauty parlour. Hot and cold water is in every stateroom, and an efficient valet service attends to the smallest needs of the travellers.

The Malolo carries only first-class passengers. Those who will arrive tomorrow come from all parts of the United States, though Californians make up nearly one-third of the passenger list. One woman comes from China, and another from Canada. Women predominate. It seems that the wealthy American woman is a keen and thoughtful traveller. She observes peoples and countries as she passes through them. That is why this visit of the Malolo should do much toward advertising New Zealand when these Pacific travellers return to their homes.

The tour of the Malolo, which started at San Francisco on September 21, has been a triumphal voyage. Everywhere the travellers have been greeted with flying bunting, musical honours and the greatest hospitality. With characteristic American thoroughness and courtesy they have re-

turned that hospitality even though they* have stayed only a. few days or hours In some of their ports of call.

In Melbourne the Malolo was decorated with flowers —the gift of the Lord Mayor ani the Lady Mayoress. That is an example of the pleasant welcome the travellers have received. Soon after the liner reaches Auckland tomorrow morning a special train will carry half the visitors off to Rotorua, where they will do the sights. On their return to the city the remainder of the' travellers will go to Rotorua, so that everyone will see something of the thermal wonders of the tourist resort. Unfortunately, there will be no time for them to visit Wairakei or Taupo. Special arrangements have been made by the Auckland Chamber of Commerce for visitors to meet the leading business men and manufacturers of Auckland, and informal meetings will take place on the Malolo itself. A fleet of 44 motor-cars will take the tourists on sight-seeing runs round the city.

Although the Malolo is not the largest vessel to visit Auckland she is easily the fastest, and it is expected that she will create a new steaming record between Sydney and Auckland.

The big contingent is headed byMr. Charles C. Moore, one of California’s most influential citizens. He was chairman of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. With him in command is Mr. Robert Newton Lynch, vicepresident and manager of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. But from all parts of the United States there are men of broad vision who realise that the Pacific is becoming more and more the theatre of world trade and commerce, and that the countries touching on this vast ocean must be more and more closely linked together.
