FREIGHT TERMS
New Zealand Produce BLUE STAR PROPOSAL Awaiting Arrival of Mr. David Jones (By Telegraph. —Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received May 3, 7.10 p.m.) London, May 3. Until the chairman of the New Zealand Meat Board, Mr. David Jones, arrives to negotiate a new freight agreement little more is likely to be heard of the Blue Star Line’s proposal to enter the New Zealand trade. The Blue Star Company declines to discuss Its plans. The city editor of the "Daily Express” recalls that Vesteys, which controls the Blue Star Line, put one or two ships on the China run to compete with the Peninsular and Oriental Company, but it is understood the voyages were less profitable than was hoped for. There was a similar experience in the venture in the Gulf fruit trade.
The "Express” adds that the rates offered .New Zealand are below those of the regular lines with which Mr. Jones is coming to negotiate.
