(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
HAMILTON, This Day
In an interview, Mr.' W. J. Poison, M.P., expressed, agreement with tfio movement to secure competition to cut freights sjs a.means of1 reducing costs.
"Tho controversy regarding the sins of omission and commission of the competing shipping concerns is threatcuing to overshadow in the minds of many people that all-important consideration, ". lie said. "We are not concerned at tho Blue Star Company's attempt to maintain'its Argentine-con-nection now that it is losing some of it. Wo are concerned in seeing that the Lino becomes effective as a means of competition with the great shipping trust, which, today absolutely controls the whole cf our overseas shipping. We "have paid for whatever service we have had in the past, and it is unreasonable for those who control it to ■take up the attitude that because they have had'ho competition in tho past this is their territory and that no competitor should now bo allowed'to enter it."
