TASMAN COMPETITION.
COMMENT IN AMERICA. NEW YORK. Dec. 5. The Herald-Tribune, in a leading article on the closing of the Tasman Sea to American ships for the purpose of carrying passengers between Australia and New Zealand, outlines the history of the controversy, and says: “It is suspected that the Rills are intended more as a means of getting subsidies for competitive British services than to end competition. If so. New Zealanders and Australians may still have cause to be grateful for the energising influence of the Matson Line and others. “While recognising that a ship subsidy war is bad enough, they will be glad if there is no extension of the flag monopoly principle, which would be a disastrous reversal of the world’s present feeble efforts in the direction of lowering barriers and freeing trade.”
