SHIPPING SPACE.
METHOD OF ALLOCATION.
DISSATISFACTION EXPRESSED
ACCUMULATION OF PRODUCE
[bt telegram.— association.]
WELLINGTON, Tuesday.
A complaint is being made'that Now Zealand is not getting a fair share of the shipping allocated to Australia and . New Zealand by the authorities in London. It appears that the total space made available for Australia and New Zealand is divided in Sydney, and shippers . hero think that the division is not made with proper regard to the relative needs of the two countries. Australia is said not to be suffering from the congestion of frozen produce to anything like, the extent that New Zealand is. Representations have ben made to the Overseas Shipping Committee regarding the situation at the Hawke's Bay works, which are practically full, and it is understood that efforts wil'. be mado to afford relief to the companion and producers in that part of tho country., Official circles consider that tho shipping difficulty is not likely to become really acute again.
