The Canadian Government Mercantile Marine has an extensive shipping programme in hand, says the United Empire magazine. Tire existing Australian service is to be followed by the inauguration of a line of vessels from Vancouver to India and the Straits Settlements, and a further line to Far Eastern ports. It is also intended that a line shall be established to South America, and a service to the United Kingdom via the Panama Canal. It is stated; that early in the yesr a four-vessel fleet will be placed in the Oriental trade in conjunction with four ships of the Blue Funnel Line, while tie Indian Line is to be operated In conjunction with the British India Company. This continued expansion in the mercantile marine service from Pacific Caaat ports has revived the

questinn of developing the shipment, of Canadian grain westward via Vancouver instead of eastward via Atlantic ports. .SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. ARRIVED. ; Auckland, April S.—JI.M.S.
