AID FOR SHIPPING
COMBATING COMPETITION VIEW OF MINISTER OF MARINE [by telegraph —PRESS association] WELLINGTON, Sunday "We cannot stand by and watch our shipping being driven off the seas by the subsidised competition of other countries without striving to protect it," said the Minister of Marine, the Hon. P. Fraser, at a function held by tho New Zealand Company of Master Mariners last night.
Tho question to be considered, said the Minister, was whether British shipping in the Pacific could bo carried on against American competition without borne form of subsidy. It would be futile to allow a company to put into service an expensive ship on the Tasman run and then allow the company to battle out the trade between Auckland and the United States against subsidised competition without giving it some assistance. What sort of help should be given was another matter, but he was quite certain that everyone in the community realised that if New Zealand was to continue as a maritime country some assistance would have to be given our shipping.
