A GESTURE OF GOODWILL. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association). WANGANUI. Feb. 13. The Hon. W. A. Veil eh was asked to-day bv tbe “Herald” representative. wliat tbe new portfolio of M inister of Transoort applied to. Afr Yoitch replied lie was not going to he so foolish as to proclaim the complete' nolicy and system of organisation at thj s stage. Already misconceptions have arisen ns to what 1 lx* creation of the new portfolio of 'I ransport implies. some having the impression it is to he in the nature of a struggle for existence on ibe system of “Puß devil, pull beggar.” ns between rnilwnv and motor transport services. As a matter of fact tbe foremost feature of bis work will be exactlv in tin* ooposite direction. It is not intended to continue the effort to torce traffic on to the rails, but by application of <roo'lwill and comnionscnse. and without compulsion or unnecessary interference with the rights of the people. Tie believed it was possible |, () correlate tlie motor traffic with railways so that both may serve tbe people better.
