STATE SHIPPING.
SUGGESTED NEW ZEALAND LINE, y DISCUSSED IN LONDON. V GOVERNMENT KNOWS NOTHING. Received 11.30 LONDON, August 10. “Fair-play,” in a reference to New Zealand's creation of a Stats shipping line, says everyone admits Lie present shortage of tonnage, but that does not justify Governments going in wholesale for shipping. Either assuming New; Zealand's trade either in immigrants or merchandise could support such a. fleet, by the time those 20,000 tonnerg were built, wo would probably have a. long period of low, unprofitable freighters. This cable has been submitted to the Government in Wellington, who state they have no knowledge of any proposal to establish a State line of steamers.
