“If there is one section of Empire Trade where nationalisation would be welcome it is in Australian shipping circles. It is sad to think we can conclude a good fifty-fifty agreement with Argentina, but can arrange nothing of the sort with Australia,” says the “Financial'. Journal.” It adds: “Australia unfortunately still remains one of the most difficult countries with which to cari-v on shipping business. For nearly a year, owners have held back from freight in ireases, but they will certainly not be able to do so much longer. High dock and port dues and lack of outward cargoes are piling owners’ losses to a point at which they cannot go on very much fiAvther. The Federal Government indeed, has made things more difficult, instead of easier, by tarifF increases on 'several lines of cargoes.”
