PRINCESS
MARGUERITE
Seattle-Victoria
VICTORIA
(CP)
-
The
Princess
Marguerite
has
ended
her
first
season
under
provincial
control
after
proving
she
can
make
money
sailing
between
Seattle
and
this
Canadian
port
and
also
provide
a
flow
of
dollars
for
Victoria
businessmen.
The
27-year-old
steamship
formerly
had
sailed
under
the
Canadian
Pacific
flag
and
apparently
was
in
the
red
during
its
final
years
with
the
company.
Harry
Tyson,
a
former
Canadian
Pacific
employee
who
now
is
general
manager
of
the
British
Columbia
Steamship
Co.,
said
the
ship's
profits
after
its
first
season
under
new
ownership
probably
won't
be
far
from
the
$100,000
figure
mentioned
during
the
summer
by
Premier
Dave
Barrett.
About
270,000
passengers
were
carried
by
the
vessel
last
season,
17,000
more
than
the
year
before,
and
Mr.
Tyson
said
he
expects
another
increase
of
10
or
15
per
cent
next
year.
Mr.
Tyson
says
passenger,
BONN
(Reuter)
James
Schlesinger,
dismissed
U.S.
defence
secretary,
was
quoted
Tuesday
as
saying
present
realities
are
against
a
policy
of
detente
with
the
Soviet
Union.
The
conservative
West
German
newspaper
Die
Welt
published
an
interview
given
by
Schlesinger
shortly
before
his
dismissal
by
President
Ford.
In
the
article,
he
was
reported
as
saying:
"I
would
like
to
hope
that
real
detente,
'a
real
relaxation
of
tension,
could
be
achieved
with
the
East
bloc
but

more
than
covered
the
ship's
operating
expenses
as
well
as
providing
for
the
$300,000
refit
last
spring
in
Vancouver
and
for
the
lease
arrangement
the
company
has
with
the
Crown
Development
Corp.,
owner
of
the
Marguerite
and
the
Prince
George,
which
will
be
added
to
the
line
next
season.
He
said
he
is
optimistic
about
the
Marguerite's
prospects
next
season
because
the
United
States
bicentenary
and
rising
gas
costs
will
make
the
short
ferry
trip
between
Victoria
and
Seattle
even
more
attractive.
Last
season,
the
Marguerite
averaged
1,100
passengers
daily
in
her
120-day
schedule
that
ended
Sept.26.
Mr.
Tyson
said
he
hopes
this
figure
will
increase
to
about
1,700
during
the
next
couple
of
years.
The
passenger
increase
contributes
more
than
additional
fares
because
there
are
far
more
meals
and
drinks
bought
as
a
result,
he
said.
Even

want
to
replace
reality
by
illusions
or
hopes.
"And
the.
present
reality
is
that
the
military
power
of
the
Soviet
Union
is
expanding."
Schlesinger
went
on
to
say
that
while
the
Soviet
Union
is
increasing
its
military
potential
by
three
to
four
per
cent
every
year,
the
United
States
has
cut
defence
spending
by
almost
45
per
cent
since
1968.
"He
who
believes
in
detente
should
see
to
it
that
the
military
balance
is
maintained
and
not
become
dependent
on
the
goodwill
of
others,"
Schlesinger
was
quoted
as
saying.

Mr.
Tyson
said
the
Marguerite's,
outof-town

this
year.

from

to

refit,
are
all
found
locally.
Mr.
Tyson,

manager
and
was
coaxed
out
of
two
years'
retirement
to

said

fares
would
remain
unchanged
except
for
a
$1
increase
in
the

tariff,
which
would
increase
to
$15.
Mr.
Tyson
said
he
cannot
see
the

Marguerite

back

expects
the
B.C.

do
