ANXIETY IN SYDNEY GUARANTEED CALL WANTED. By Telegraph— Press Association— Copyright SYDNEY, May 23. Mr Holman, Acting-Premier of New South Wales, has written to Mr W • M. Hughes, Acting-Federal Premier, declaring that the New South Wales Government has felt some concern in the matter of the maintenance of a regular service between Sydney and Vancouver. The new contract between tho Canadian and Now Zealand Government? doos not oblige tho contractors to send steamers west of Auckland. The steamers will probably run to Australia, but Now Zealand has preference over their cargo space. Apart from the consideration of the money annually expended in connection with tho steamers on wages, coaling. and docking, amounting to £IOO,OOO, tliero is a possibility of jeopardisfag trade. Mr Holman has urged Mr Hughes to communicate with tho Prime Minister of the Commonwealth, now in London, in view of an approaching conference with Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Mr Hughes has replied that ho has forwarded Mr Holman’s representations to Mr Fisher. Mr Holman states that unless something is done tho State Government will consider the question of a contribution sufficient to secure space for New South Wales.
