CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 24
Though they refrained from passing a definite resolution without the fullest investigation, the members of the Executive of the North Canterbury Farmers’ Union to-day affirmed their previously-expressed opinion that the Government subsidy on the Mel-bourne-Bluff service should he discontinued. They held that it there must be a subsidy, Australia, should pay it, because the trade balance was all 'in her favour, and Australia was closed to many New Zealand products. One, member said that every ton of* cargo being exported by the service cost the country one pound in addition to freight charges. Another member suggested that New Zealand might use the subsidy as a lever to prise open the Australian ports to our produce. After bearing the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, who said that the Chamber were deferring their dccis.on until they had discussed the question with the Dunedin representatives at the annual conference next month, the meeting decided to defer its decisiiou until the Chamber of Commerce had had a further opportunity of investigating.
