COMMONWEALTH LINE
PROPOSED SALE. (BY CABLE-PRESS ASSOCIATION-COPYBIOHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) CANBERRA, November 29. In the House of Representatives, in reply to a question, Mr Bruce stated that a cable message had been received from Lord Inchcape to the effect that the latter would be prepared to disposo of the Commonwealth line of steamers for the Government if desired. Lord Kylsant also enquired whether, in the event of an offer being made for the line, would the Commonwealth be prepared to indemnify the purchaser against industrial trouble in Australia.
