BRITISH TRANSPORT REFORM
DEBATE IN HOUSE OF COMMONS PRINCIPAL OPPONENTS By Telesraph—Press Assoeiatlon-OoryTiEht London, March 19. The priucipul opposition to the Transport BiH in the House of Commons emanated from representatives of dock interests. Sir Edward Carson said he distrusted stark mad concentrations. Tho Government were gluttons for centralisation, udereas decentralisation always led to greater efficiency.
Mr. Bouar Law expressed himself as gratified at the reception of the Hill, which was largely due to Sir Eric Geddcs having croated the impression that lie was able to deal with ths gigantic task. Never in the past had there been a. real transportation policy. An unanswerable case had been made out for the control of the docks and of electricity, upon which the effective control of the railways depended- Although there would bo central control, the running of tho docks could only be done by delegating it to responsible authorities.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
