FOREIGN SHIPPING
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —Whatever may be one's views ad to the rights and duties ,o£ hospitality, the underlying idea of the -Hawkes Bay A. and,P. Society in their refusal to entertain a party of Australian farmers who are visiting New Zealand early, next year, because they will be travelling -by a foreign 6hip, will'no doubt find general acceptance. British people ought to support British shipping whole-heartedly in its struggle against foreign State-aided competition. That aid is given with the avowed "intention, of attacking and capturing the trade o£ our own ships. Are we to be for them or against them ? The interests o£ the farmer, Australian as well as New Zealand, arc-closely linked up with this "question, perhaps more than those of anyone else of us. Britain is his great market. British shipping—riot only in New Zealand and Australia, but all over the world—is engaged in a life-and- | death struggle with this same State-aided competition. Apart from any ideas o£ patriotism, which ought he to help? Not, surely, those who shut out all his* goods with- a high tariff wall!—l,am, etc.,
BRITISH.
