LOWER FREIGHTS
BY COMPETITION MR POLSON AGREES WITH PLAN. (Australian Press Association). HAMILTON, June 15. In an interview Air J. Poison, ALP., voiced agreement with the movement to seeure competition to cut freights as a means of reducing costs. “The controversy regarding sins of omission and commission of competing slapping concerns is threatening to be overshadowed in the minds of many poeple that all-important consideration.” He said: “We are not concerned at the Blue Star Company’s attempt to maintain its Argentine connection, now that it is losing some of it. We are concerned in seing that line become effective in competition with the great shipping trust,’ \,vhich to-day absolutely controls the whole of our overseas shipping. We have paid for whatever seivice we have had in the past, and it is unreasonable for those who control it to take up the attitude that, because they have lmd no competition in the past, this is their territory, and that no competitor should now bo allowed to enter it.”
