ABOUT THE CUNARD LINE. Sir Alfred Booth, of the Ounard lane, whilo latoly In Now York, was interviewed. Though ho refused a formal interview he spoke of his own company. He explained that ho did not believe in monopolies, but felt that healthy expansion at sea must be the result of competition. No company could completely monopolise a trade, and so thore was overlapping and competition which prevented shippers and passengers from being charged exlortionatcly. As regards tho Ounard Line, he pointed out that they were consolidating their North Atlantic interests, firstly through the Anchor Line and the strengthening of the Ounard service; secondly, through the working ajreement with, the Donaldson Line; thirdly, by the purchase, of the Canadian-Northern steamers, which strongly reinforced, the Canadian service. Concurrently, the Ounard Company, through tho Anchor-Brocklebank Line, were spreading their business to India. More recently the Cunard had purhcascd the Commonwealth and Dominion Lino to Australia and New Zealand, including that company's New York service to those countries. Their object by these acquisitions had been to develop tho North Atlantic sido of their Interests, and also to extend those interests to other parts of the world, and thus avoid having all tho eggs in one basket. .
