NAVAL BASE AT AUCKLAND.
Sydney, July 12
The transfer of the naval base to Auckland means a trade loss to Sydney ot from ,£BO,OOO to 000 annually.
Mr Kitchen, managing director of the Sydney Soap and Caudle Company, suggests as a remedy to let the Commonwealth Government approach the Imperial authorities with a proposal to jointly appoint a victualling officer who might act on behalf of both iu buying for the Imperial ana Australian fleet vessels. There would then be a chance ot competing against New Zealand. “It New Zealand can supply the goods at lower price than Australia,” he added, “then good luck to her, but the odds are that we should keep most of the trade we have bad before.”
