AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN
SHIPPING INTERESTS DISCUSSIONS DELAYED. Received Nov. 24,5.5 p.m. TOKIO, Nov. 23. The newspaper Chugai Shogyo expects that the conference between Australia and Japanese shipping interests will not begin before January, due to a preliminary discussion of the agenda, notably whether to include New Zealand traffic, in which the Osaka Shosen Kaisha and the Yamashita lines are particularly interested. NEW ZEALAND TRADE. SHOULD NOT ENTER THE DISCUSSIONS. Received Nov. 24, 5.5 p.m. SYDNEY, Nov. 24. Mr. G. Rickards, partner in the firm of Macdonald, Hamilton and Company, managing agents for the East-ern-Australian Line, which is the only company other than Japanese concerned in the conference, who is now on his way to Japan, stated some time ago that his company did not wish to enter any discussion regarding New Zealand trade. Japanese vessels were running direct to New Zealand, but the Eastern-Australian Line only carried New Zealand cargoe, which were brought to Sydney and transhipped. The introduction of New Zealand traffic into any discussion, therefore, only tended to cloud a clear-cut issue.
