AUSTRALIAN SHIPPING LAWS

LONDON, February 15. Speaking at a dinner in connection with the Chamber of Shipping, Sir William Robson (the new Attorney-general) refered to the passage in the annual report of the chamber dealing with the Commonwealth shipping legislation. He emphasised the statement that the Motherland cheerfully bore substantially the whole of the burden of the navy, without which the vast coastline of Australia would be unable to preserve immunity from foreign attacks for 12 months. The Motherland should at least expect the right to trade without practically prohibitive lestrictions along the coast which it had to guard. — (Cheers.) The statesmen in Australia should be courteously but clearly informed that this legislation would not pass unnoticed, and would not fail, if persisted in, to produce an effect on public opinion, in Britain over which Australian statesmen would do well to ponder.
