Australia Building Ships for N.Z.
Australia wants to build ships for New Zealand, according to Mr Rex C. Ellis, superintendent of the Newcastle State Dockyard, who arrived at Auckland from Sydney in the Aorangi yesterday. He said the Australian shipbuilding industry developed rapidly during the war and was ready |o tackle any task. It could, if necessary, complete it without importing a single nut or bolt. Mr Ellis has come to New Zealand for a discussion witn Union Steam Ship Company architects on the design of two 3000-ton freighters which the company has ordered from his yards. He said they were the first New Zealand orders the yards had received.—(P.A.)
