AUSTRALIAN MAIL CONTRACT
London, February 20. Sir Thomas Sutho/land, in an interview, respecting Mr Chapman's '(Federal Postmaster-General) assertions about influences operating against the new mail contract, declines to add anything to his statement at the Peninsular Company's meeting in December when he stated that the mail companies lost between £90.000 and I £IOO,OOO on butter freights alone. Regarding the new mail contract, he said it was not the first time in the history of Australia that an outsider had rushed into a mail contract which an experienced company like the Peninsular had declined, and history had recorded the result as serious.
