LACK OF SHIPPING FACILITIES. New Zealand Reaping the Benefit. Pres. Association.—Telegraph.—Copyright. Received March 1, 9.40 a.m. MELBOURNE, March 1. A merchant doing business with Can- ( ada, in an interview with Mr Tudor, Minister for Customs, complained that, owing to the lack of shipping facilities, New Zealand • ira# reaping the benefit of Australia’s pioneering work. Under present conditions Australia had to be content with Now Zealand’s leavings with regard to refrigerating space. No butter had been shipped since the discontinuance of the Sydney-V aj!£o,PVfC ..service last year. Mr Tudor indicated thp probability of, an oarlv agreement between Canada and Australia on the subject of a reciprocal tarifffF. Negotiations had alyeady been opened. The urgency of the question was fully recognised, but until reciprocity was agreed upon, it was useless to discuss a direct shipping service.
