TRADE RIVALS
NEW ZEALAND'S'ADVANTAGE.
United Prws Association— By Electric T«iesraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, July 12. The transfer of the naval base to Auckland means a trade loss to Sydney of from £80,000 to £100,000 annually. Mr Kitchen, managing director of the Sydney Soap and Candle Company,'suggests as a remedy that the Commonwealth Government should approach the Imperial authorities vith <i proposal to jointly appoint a victualling officer, who might act on behalf of both, buying for the Imperial and the Australian fleets' vessels.* There would then be a chance, he .says, of competing against New Zealand. If New Zealand could supply goods at a lower price than Australia, Then good luck to her, but the odds are that Australia would keen most of the trade she had had before.
