HARBOUR CHARGES.
DIFFERENTIATION PROPOSAIJ. (By Telegraph. —Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday. The suggestion that the time had come when there might be some modi fieation of the law which did not allow harbour boards in New Zealand to differentiate in duets or charges in favour of British shipping was made at a meetin"' of the Lvttelton Harbour Board by the chairman, Mr. W. G. Gallagher. Mr. Gallagher said it was time for the harbour boards to strengthen the Government's hands by offering evidence in favour of the modification of the existing law, which compelled harbour boards to treat all ships alike. It not necessary to go beyond New Zealand to see the threat which "free trade in shipping" held for the steamship lines, especially in view of the recent declaration of' the President of the United States in favour of shipping subsidies.
