FOREIGN SHIPPING
Sir, —Your correspondent Mr. J. D. Gray deserves congratulations on his letter on this subject. No move is boing made to meet tho crisis by any of the Empire Governments, no move can well be made by any of tho Governments, and none can be expected before our Mother Parliament awakes from its dream and recognises tho precarious position they tolerate by wooing our annihilators with compliments and admiration while they wipe out our shipping, as they aro doing pretty fast. Shipping is really our foundation, and it must be our first consideration, for it is as vital to Great Britain as to New Zealand, and to Tonga as to Africa. So it is every man's business to urgo reciprocal trade, and if foreigners give help to their mercantile marine in tho way of subsidies it is up to us to insist on our Governments prohibiting their loading any cargoes or mails for any portion of our Empire. G. McMii-ne-Mcri'hy.
