MAIL ROUTES
AN AUSTRALIAN POINT OF VIEW
United Press Association—Bj Electrio Telegraph—Copyright. MELBOURNE, December 20. The Central Postal authorities point out, as comment on Sir Joseph Ward's recent speech, that the Queensland Government has nctr nothing to do with the' Vancouver service, as it has passed entirely into the hands of the Federal Government. At one time Queensland -was ready to have the call at Brisbane discontinued, and to discontinue the call at that port would not add to the time between Sydney and Vancouver. It 'would also lead to a reduction in the cost, as New Zealand -would bear a proportion of the subsidy. If steamers called at both Brisbane and Auckland, the trip would be lengthened by 24 hours. Before the term of the interim agreement expires, an entirely altered service will be considered, and the Canadian Government has signified that it has no objecticn to steamers calling at Auckland.
