PACIFIC SHIPPING
A Basis of Discussion Arrived At BRITAIN’S ATTITUDE (Received 8, 9.55 a.m.) LONDON, April 7. The Australian Ministers met Mr. Kuneiman, Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, and the Canadian and New Zealand High Commissioners, with their respective experts, and agreed upon a basis of discussion concerning the Pacific shipping situation when they meet again after Easter in order to obviate each country putting forward separate plans. The Associated Press understands that the inaugural Anglo-Dominion consultations on Pacific shipping revealed that the British Government is likely to be the most formidable obstacle to an agreement to maintain the services with inter-Governmental aid. Mr. Runciman’s noncommittal attitude is dictated by fear that either a counter-subsidy or the reservation of certain routes to British shipping would produce American retaliation in 'the Pacific or elsewhere. This, with the addition of Mr. Runciman’s and the Government’s reluctance to broaden the principle of the susbidies, means that no solution is yet apparent.
