Soonor or later, say shrewd judges of tho shipping situation in Australia, there must dovelop a. struggle between tho Shipping Combine—which now includes practically every British shipowner operating in Iho southern seas—and tho Commonwealth of Australia (states the Sydney special correspondent of the Ohristchurch ' "Press"). Tho Commonwealth line of steamers is frankly a challenge to the ■ Shipping Combine—and is just as frankly accepted bb 6iioh by the latter. The plain • speaking on behalf of the Commonwealth and the Ring is remarkable. Tho Pom--1 hino does not aeek to disguise the fact thnt it is a combine, nor to hide tho ' chagrin with which it regard* tho Commonwealth Heet. The Commonwealth Line is by far the biggest British mercantile fleet outsldo • the Combine. Its nucleus, it will be remembered, were the. fifteen smallish cargo • carriers purchased by Mr. Hughes in 1916. About the suuie time, Australia, • brought the seventeen German steamers which sh o had captured into commission under her flag. (They are still running in the Australian service, oarnlng bl" profits, pending the decision of the Leagu* of Nations.) To thin comfortable fleet Australia added a number of small wooden steamers and motor-ships, bought in America but these- /wore not. successful, and most of them wore *old after the armistice. Then ehiohullding commenced in Australia, and five or blx fine iron steamers, built in the various dockyards, are already in commission. Others arc ■being built rapidly, whilo in'the English and Scottish dockyards, at tho present moment, three big passenger-carryiii" liners are being completed to the order of the Australian Government; and other and even bigger shins are to follow from the Ewrlish yards. Thus.' It may be F«cn Hint, literally every month.' with building operations iroing on apace, tho position of Australia sb a ship-owning nation i» being strengthened: and the feelings of the Combine, which naturally doßires to bo all-powerful, can be imagined. Tho fight, has been "oing on. in a sort of way, for a, long time. The Combine grnntß shinpers a substantial rebate it. after a certain time, they prove that they have not been shipping by nonCombine vessels. Tt is a Btiff handicapbut, so for, the Commonwealth has survived and flourished. Now the British napers are pointing out that, if the Commonwealth is going to fight the Combine, the powerful interests therein. represented will pee to it that the Commonwealth Government, will get no money when it. goes ti-horrowine in London. Only ' the fi'tnre will, show what till" will lead to. This much seems sure: The Aiißtnllnn w-oplc a.re genera'ly behind the Australian Government, in its defiance of the Combine. • SHIP'S PERILOUS TRIP. Thrown on her beam ends in a gale and' swept by mountainous seas waß the experience of tho American ship Chillicoihe off tho Australian coaßt recently. The vessel, which was towed into Port Jackson on June 28, was laden -with 50,000 cases of oil and a auantity of barrels of oilß from San Francisco, and she was 65 days making the voyage across the I Pxciflc. The, captain reported a good run of 48 days to Norfolk Island, and from:thore the ship wan buffeted by heavy gales from west and south-west. The. wind reached hurricane force on June 23, and it was'in this storm thnt the ship had tho perilous experiences reforrcd to. She laboured and strained heavily in the Btorm. The worst of the hurricane lasted 14 hours, and the vessel emerged from the encounter with the loss of n, few Bails and eomo movables from the deck. MANUKA FROM SYDNEY. The Union S.S.
