LINER LAUNCHED.
SUCCESSFUL CEREMONY.
Received November 23, 9.10 a.m. LONDON, Nov. 22.
The liner New Zealand Star was successfully launched at Belfast by Lord Bledisloe releasing the trigger by wireless. Sir Edmund Vestey. at the luncheon after the launching of the vessel, said the building of ships like the New Zealand Star was fraught with anxiety owing to restrictions on Britain’s food imports. It would be more advisable to help the British farmer from the Exchequer than by moans of tariffs, which increased the cost of living _of the poorest and restricted consumption when the world needed it vastly increased in order to reduce unemployment.
A report of the ceremony appears on page 2.
