VICTUALLING THE NAVY.

An Australian ComplaintPress Association—Copyright. Sydney, April 29. A deputation representing the Chamber of Manufactures called the attention of the Premier to the apparent neglect of Australian produce in victualling the Navy on the Australian station. One speaker admitted that the meat industry was fairly treated by the Naval authorities but he said the War Office had not given New South Wales a very fair chance to tender for army requirements. Other speakers alleged that the navy _obtaiued many lines from England which could be supplied here. The Premier promised to give attention to the matter.
