NAVIGATION ACT
AFFECTS BUSINESS RELATIONS WITH NEW ZEALAND. (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.) (Received 28th January, 11.30 a.m.) HOBART, This Day. _ Alfred Willing, timber merchant, giving evidence before a Royal Commission on the operations of the Navigation Act, said that since the Act came into force he had lost business through inability to secure shipping When he wanted it. The business he once had in NewZealand had been lost for the same reason. He was compelled to refuse orders from New Zealand because of the lack of shipping facilities. It was all nonsense for the Union Steam Ship Company to' say that it had intimated that the vessel was available to load timber, but was unable to obtain cargo. He invited the Commission to visit the wharves and see two shiploads waiting.
