ENGLAND TO AUSTRALIA.
INCREASE OF I'ASSF.NGEII RATES. By Cable.—Press Association—Copyright London, Dec. S. The difficulties and cost of passenger traffic between England and Australia are likely to increase. Nearly all the services via. the Cape have been taken over by the Government, and many passengers to Australia desiring to use that service and thus avoid the Mediterranean are unable to secure berths. The position is more acute owing to the demand for vessels in connection with the Australian wheat scheme.
Lord Inchcape, speaking at the meeting of (he Peninsula and Oriental Company, said the Government had taken over 42 of their vessels at various times and was still using 31. The working cost had so increased that it might be necessary to further raise passenger rates.
