Dutch May Re-Establish

South Pacific Line

THE Dutch are giving serious thought to the re-establishment of their South Pacific shipping service which, be fore the war, ran between the East Indies and Sydney, via Papua, New Guinea, New Hebrides and New Caledonia.

Inquiries now are being made by the Royal Inter-Ocean Line, which is closely associated with the Dutch Royal Packet Navigation Line. The East Indies ports which may thus be connected with the South-West Pacific probably would be Singapore, Jakarta (Batavia) and Soura baya.
