IMPROVEMENT IN SHIPPING POSITION. ACCORDING TO MR GOODFELLOW. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON. June 22. After five weeks of intensive study in official and trade circles on behalf of the New Zealand Government and Australian and New Zealand companies, Mr William Goodfellow said that, the refrigerated shipping schedule for Australian and New Zealand cargoes showed considerable improvement. Provided that no sudden crisis necessitates a switch of tonnage, he said, the schedule allowed for sinkings, and though it was impossible to predict the course of the war, he believed the position of the butter, cheese, and meat shipments was reasonably satisfactory. These products would fare better after the war than wool, which would probably have to'face problems similar to those which arose after the last war. The impoverishment of Europe when hostilities ceased would be a most important influence on the Dominions’ marketing of primary produce. However. a new and helpful factor might be a change in the tariff policy of the United States under which food and produce would be admitted under lower duties for at least a portion of each year.
