SHIPPING FREIGHTS
EFFECT OF COMPETITION. REDUCING COSTS TO PRODUCERS. (Per United Press Association.) Hamilton, June 15. In an interview, Mr W. J. Polson, M.P., expressed his agreement with the movement to secure competition to cut freights as a means of reducing costs. The controversy regarding the sins of omission and commission of the competing shipping concerns is threatening to' overshadow in the minds of many people that all-important consideration, he said. “We are not concerned at the Blue Star Company’s attempt to ma’intain its Argentine connection now that it is losing some of it. We are concerned in seeing that the line becomes an effective competitor with the great shipping trust which today absolutely controls the whole of our overseas shipping. We have paid for whatever service we have had in the past and it is unreasonable for those who control it to take up the attitude that because they have had no competition in the past this is their territory and that no competitor should now be allowed to enter it.”
