PACIFIC SERVICE.
CANADA AND AUSTRALIA. United' Press Association—By' Eieotria Telegraph—Copyright (Received March 4, 10.40 a.m.) MELBOURNE, March 4. A deputation of members of the Chamber of Commerce waited on Mr Tudor regarding the questions of recir procity with Canada and provision for the Australian-Canadian trade. The president stated that' the PostmasterGeneral might feel complacent over the discontinuance of the subsidised service for poundage. The carriage of the mails may be cheaper, but there was a danger of New Zealand, which, enjoyed reciprocity with Canada, cutting seriously into, Australian trade interests. The Federal Government might subsidise not a mail but a cargo service. Mr Tudor promised to lay the request before the Cabinet,. but said he did not expect that any action would be taken. He-pointed out that in 1909 the export trade to Canada was only £BO,OOO. The steamers still come to Sydney, and the Commonwealth was no worse off regarding the service.
