THE SHIPPING DEADLOCK

PROSPECTS OF SETTLEMENT ' HOPEFUL. (Kec. March 19, 8.5 p.m.) London, March 18. Tho prospects of a settlement of the shipping trouble ave hopeful. It is suggested that Lord Inchcape (chairman ot the P. and 0. Company) and Mr. \\. M. Hughes (Commonwealth Prune Minister) could settle the matter in ten minutes conversation, but Lord Inchcape has gone to the Mediterranean for his health. A deputation of Australian merchants met the representatives of the Shipping Conference. The proceedings were confidential.— Aus.-N.Z. Cablo Assn, STATE FLEET FOB. SOUTH AFRICA. (Kcc. March 19, 5.5 p.m.) Cape Town, March 18. In tho Assembly, replying to a motion by the Labour Party that tho Government should secure its own fleet of ships, tho Hon. H. Burton (Minister of Finance) said the Government would consider the advisability of doing so, but the result would not be encouraging. The question was not one of practical politics. Ho considered tho Australian precedent was not a good one. Whatever might be thought of the Australian venture as a war-timo problem, a commercial lmo of State-owned ships in peace time was entirely out of tho question.—Aus.-N./S. Cable Assn.
