THE MAIL SERVICE.
NEW ZEALAND AND THE FEDERAL SERVICE. THE VANCOUVER LINE. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received October 19th, 9.24 a.m.) MELBOURNE, October 19. The "Age" says, in the course of an article on the mail service:—"Regarding the suggestion that New Zealand should come into the Federal mail contract, and reap its advantage by establishing a fast service to Wellington and Bluff, for the carriage of mails, it is hardly likely that tbe Federal Government would 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 with vessels oi a, modern, high-class standard. Such a service we have reason to believe would command a subsidy from Canada, whilst the Imperial authorities might do something in the same direction to establish an allBritish mail line via the Pacific with Australasia."
