The Age says, regarding a snggeation that New Zealand thould come into the Federal mail contr*ct, and reap its advantage by establishing a fast service to Wellington and the Bluff for the carriage of mails, that it is hardly likely that the Federal Government will consent to contribute towards a service in which its States have no special interest. If New Zealand wants an independent mail service, the Vancouver route appears to offer the best prospects of success. The line would have to be maintained to the modern high class standard. Such a service we have reason to believe, would command a subsidy from Canada whilst the Irjopp.rial authorities might do somt thing in the si me direction to establish an all British mail line,.via the Pacific, with Australasia
