WELLINGTON, This Day. A serious view is taken by tho Government of the boycott of Japanese shipping by waterside workers at Auckland and Lyttelton. This was made clear by the Prime Minister, tho Et. Hon. M. J. Savage in an interview last night. 1 "There is only one body in a position of authority in New Zealand," said Mr. Savage, "and that is the Government. We are not going to j
have five or six different organisations standing up and telling us with which countries we are going to trade." The Prime Minister said ho had received communications from the aetingconsul for Japan in Wellington, Mr. A. D. Bayfeild, and also from the eonsul-general for Japan at Sydney. He understood the trouble at Lyttelton had been settled satisfacl or'ly, and the Minister of Labour, the llon. H. T. Armstrong, was in toueh with the parties affected by the hold-up at Auckland. It was hoped to have some information by to-Qay.
