A FAIR PLAY COMMENT.
UNDER A MISCONCEPTION. United-Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright Received August 11, 11.30 a.m. London, August 10. . Fair Play, in reference to the New Zealand’s creation of a State line, says everyone admits the present shortage of tonnage, but that does not justify Governments going in wholesale for shipping, even assuming New Zealand trade, either in immigrants or merchandise, could support such a fleet. By the time these twenty thousand tonners are built we shall probably have a long period of low unprofitable' freighters. [This cable has been submitted to the Government, who state they have no knowledge of any proposal to establish a Stale line of steamers.]
