NO CONFISCATION
ROAD FREIGHT SERVICES MINISTER'S ASSURANCE (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The Government had no intention of interfering with those services which are not operating in direct competition with the railways, said the Minister of Transport, the Hon. R. Semple, yesterday, addressing delegates attending the annual conference of the New Zealand Road Transport Alliance. There seemed to be some kind of false impression in the minds of some people associated with transport that the Government intended to commandeer, confiscate or take over the whole of the transport industry in New Zealand, said the Minister. This belief was quite false and there was no such idea in the minds of the Government. He wanted to give his personal assurance that the Government did not wish to dictate to the transport operators or interfere with the ownership of their business.
