THE VANCOUVER-AUSTRALIAN SERVICE.
WITHDRAWAL OF THE SUBSIDY. IS IT RETALIATION. Received December 14, 4.25 p.m. LONDON. December 14. j Although the Ottawa "Free Press'' describes the cancelling of the mail subsidy as retaliating against the Commonwealth, the Ottawa correspondent of the "Times" declares that this opinion is not endorsed, for it would be absurd for Canada to retaliate on a sister colony when Mr A. Deakin, Federal Prime Minister, had promised to negotiate for better trade arrangements after the Commonwealth tariff was settled. (A cablegram published on Saturday, stated that the Canadian subsidy of 180,000 dollars, which has been paid since 1891 to the steam line from Vancouver to Australia, is to be discontinued. This, stated the cable, was regarded in Ottawa as Canada's reply to the Commonwealth hostile tariff.)
