NEW BRITISH LINERS EARLY ANNOUNCEMENT Received Nov. 23, 9.55 p.m. NEW YORK, Nov. 23. The Australian Associated Press correspondent learns that only the final word from the British Government, which is expected in a very short time, stands in the way of a public announcement of details of the Australasian Pacific liners. It is understood that Sir Edward Beatty, chairman of the Canadian Pacific Railway, through whom the announcement probably will be made, has confided to friends that plans have been completed down to the smallest detail and contracts for the various divisions of the construction work are ready for signature. The Canadian-Australasian Line agents, moreover, already have made purchases of large consignments of special equipment in the . United States for installation in the liners. Representatives of the line are ascertaining the traffic possibilities and arranging future alignments on bookings throughout the United States.
