"There is one thing New Zealanders should not complain of, and that is steamer fares,” said Mr Behrend van Staveren, who recently returned from a visit to England and America. “The cheapest fare on tihe Mauretania, from New York to Southampton, was £62 10s, and we did the trip in the post war record time ofi five days eight hours. Compare that with the £42 fare from Auckland to Vancouver or Wellington to San Francisco. One is at the rate of £l2 a day and tihe other at the rate of £2 a day. Even on the Melita, from Southampton to Montreal, a nine days’ trip, the fare was £35.”
