STEAMSHIP SUBSIDIES.
LIMITATION OF FREIGHTS. (Per Press Association.) Wellington, March 27. According to Mr A. E. Mabin, a speaker at the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce to-day, steamship subsidies should be subject to a stipulation limiting freights. Mr Mabin stated that at the present time .freights to America were 50 to 100 per cent, higher than through freights to London, with the result that trade possibilities were killed. Efforts should be made, lie urged, to get the Government to insist upon a limitation of freights when it granted subsidies. Mr Mubin’s remarks appeared to meet with the approval of his fellow members, . but the subject was not discussed at length.
