SEA TRAINING. • Stating that there was no scope for the employment "ofa large body of trained,youths in the Australian coastal shipping or interstate trade, the Minister tor Local Government (Mr •Spooner) said that the Government does not consider the expenditure of £60,000 upon sea training justified. No Australian registered vessels are engaged in oversea trade, and oversea shippers do not engage their labour in Australia owing to more.favourable industrial conditions abroad. In the event of prospects arising for the establishment of an Australian merchant marine the matter would receive attention from the Federal rather than the State Government. ■ THE MATSON’S SUBSIDY. .
