CARGO FOR AUSTRALIA
PROTECTION OF BRITISH SHIPPING (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND. Oct. 3. Dissatisfaction at the Government’s refusal to permit American vessels to carry cargo between New Zealand and Australia or Fiji was expressed by the council of the Chamber of Commerce to-day, when a letter replying to representations was received from the Minister of Labour. Mr P. C. Webbr It stated that it was not a question of temporary expediency, but a principle of vital concern for the protection of British shipping. Mr A. G.
