ORDERS DIVERTED TO SYDNEY
(United Press Association) AUCKLAND, September 10. A statement that because the Matson vessels did not carry general cargo from Auckland, New Zealand fish was bought ii Sydney for conveyance by these ships to Fiji, is contained in a letter received by the Auckland Chamber of Commerce from the Fiji Chamber of Commerce.
The Fiji Chamber explained that while its members were anxious to support British shipping the present inadequate facilities offered from Auckland simply meant that orders were being diverted to Sydney for carriage in the Matson vessels from Australian ports, and the trade was consequently lost to the Dominion.
