FIELD FOR AUSTRALASIAN PRODUCE.
Sydney, June 4.
The "Herald," in a leader on the expansion of German shipping interests in the Pacific, says that but for the protective barrier there would, be an : enormous market in Germany for our meat and wheat. It is difficult to believe that present day conditions of tariff can be maintained much longer. A sign ; of the times is that the Conservatives, representing the landed classes, are willing to abandon the veto on the importation of primary products in the interests of the Australian steamship services. This undoubtedly would be a quid pro quo for the withdrawal of the subsidy, and would be a generous 'compensation, for if the Customs prohibition was once removed the activities of German shipping would be enormously increased.
