(Received June 20, at 9.20 p ni ) Sir James Allen, as the result of his visit to Belgium, is impressed v.itn the importance of a direct shipping service from New Zealand to Antwerp. He said he hoped that the present disposition of the Belgians to buy mutton wrdd be extended later to lamb. Antwerp had already erected cold storage in anticipation tion of trade. Argentina was at present competing successfully, but direct 1 trade with New Zealand would probably enable the dominion to become supreme Ho had inspected the increased cold storage and shipping acconutudatioi at Antwerp, which was out-distancing Rotterdam as the chief port on the F.mopean mainland. The Jlelgians, in return tor their taking more New Zealand meat and butter, wanted New Zealand to take more European goods. He pointed out that New Zealand had a tariff agamst countries with a depreciated currency, land any change of policy was a matter for the New Zealand Government. —A. and N.Z. and Sydney Sun Cables.
