OUR SHIPPING LAWS.
THE PRIME MINISTER'S VIEW'S.
(rRESa ASSOCIATION- TEU.r3KAM.> NAPIER, January 30. In the course of an interview with a 'Daily Telegraph" representative, Sir Joseph Ward referred to the reported registration in Australia by Auckland shipowners. The Premier stated that, hearing tl»e rumour before i*> was published, he telegraphed to Mr C. Holds worth, general manager of the Union Ste«m Ship Company, the largest shipping south of the lute, asking if there was anything iv. the rumour as faT as the Union Company was concerned. Mr Holdsworth replied tlnHi nothing of the kind was contemplated or anticipated. The Premier thought that when the largest shipping organisation in the country expressed this view, tlwre was no grouiKl for uneasiness. Tho New Zealand shipping laws were for tho protection of life, together with the a&sistanco of shipotvners\ and any effort* o» tho part of political parties to remove them would b© nbeolut<;ly ineffective.
