ADVENT OF GERMAN SHIPPING.
DISADVANTAGES OF BRITISH
LINES
SIR OWEN PHILLIPPS' VIEWS
(Received June 4, 10.45 p.m.)
London, June 4
Sir Owen Phillipps, chairman of several shipping companies, interviewed regarding the Anglo-German negotiations respecting the New Zealand trade, declared that they were only an incident in a world-wide state of affairs. He complained that whereas the German nation backs German shipping, British shipping is not backed similarly. The British public had too long been hypnotised by the German navy. Really German commercial voracity created her navy.
Mr. Potter, the Shaiv, Savill, and. Albion Company's manager, states that the British lines trading to New Zealand are acting in complete concert. He hoped that delicate negotiations would soon make a conference with the Germans possible, thereby rendering a,-rate war impossible.
