In tho Union Assembly the Hon. H. P. de V. Graaff, Minister of Works, speaking on >tho second reading of the Mail Contract Bill, advocated modified passage rates, similar to those existing between Italy and the Argentine, which might solve tho South African labour troubles by inducing British workmen to come season after season, ns the Italians go to the Argentine. H© declared that a shipping ring was exploiting its monopoly, regardless of South Africa, and the Government intended to amend the Bill in order to empower preferential treatment at ports to lines not belonging to the ring, as they believed they could induce private shipowners to run a regular 19 days' thrico weekly service.
