Strike’s Effect On Mail
LONDON, June 27. According to a G.P.O. spokesman in London, the shipping strike should not be delaying surface mails from Britain to New Zealand by more than a fortnight. Mail is being sent on European and other overseas shipping lines in place of British ships which are strike-bound. Some New Zealand mail is being transported to Australia and transshipped on to the Tasman services. Up to now the general effect of the strike on New Zealand surface mails has been that instead of mails leaving England about every 10 days there has been threeweek gaps between sailings.
