No Interference With Transport Services
MR. SEMPLE’S ASSURANCE TO OPERATORS
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Nov. 23. The Government had no intention of interfering with those services which were not operating in direct competition l with the railways, said the Minister of Transport (Hon. K. Semple) to-day, ad- , dressing delegates attending the annual conference of the New Zealand Road Transport Alliance. There seemed to be some kind of false impression in the minds of some people associated with transport that the Government intended to commandeer, confiscate or take over tho whole of the transport industry in New Zealand, said the Minister. This belief was quite false and there was no such idea in the minds of the Government. He wanted to give his personal assurance that the Government did not wish to dictate to transport operators or in- , terfere with the ownership of their businesses.
