LOAD-LINE CONFERENCE
A. AND N.Z. DELEGATES PERTURBED. FOREIGN ZONE PROPOSAL. (United Press Association—By Cable— Copyright.) (Received 27, 10.45 a.m.) London, June 26. The Australian and New Zealand delegates at the Load-line Conference are perturbed because the Foreign Delegates of the Zone Committee are desirous of placing sections of Australian ' and New Zealand coasts within the summer and winter zones, causing confusion throughout Australian and New Zealand shipping, and also resulting in losses to those ports within the winter zone. Australia is safeguarded even il the conference constitution provides, for the enforcement of a seperate 'flipping Act, but New Zealand will b. obliged to concur if Britain agrees, Jecause she is unable to pass a seperate Shipping Act without the Imperial Parliament’s consent. Thus far. it is understood, the British delegates favour the foreigners’ proposals; therefore the Australian and New Zealand delegates aie holding up the Zone Committee, hoping to obtain reconsideration of the zoning proposals before submission to the general committee for final ratification.
