In an interview, ho stated his mission to Australia was to promote the establishment of a mail service by the All-Red route or an improved service between Canada and Australia. He was specially deputed by the Canadian Government io try to induce the different Governments interested in the matter to act in unison with Canada \n approaching the Imperial Government upon the question of subsidy. He would not say anything about the Canadian 1 proposal until ho had placed it before the Federal Government, and would not deal with the details of the proposal until tho broad question of policy was settled. Canada was anxious to have the matter settled. Ho was confident New Zealand would be included in tho scheme, but he could not say whether or not vessels of tho All-Red service would call at Queensland ports.
