lESIR J. WARD S RECENT SPEECH. AUSTRALIAN COMMENT. United Pres Association-By Electric Ttiegrap f?ht. Received Decomber 20, 9.30 a.m. MELBOURNE, December 20. The Central Postal authorities point out as a comment on Sir Joseph Ward's recent speech in the House regarding mail services that the Queensland Government has now nothing to do with the Vancouver serv.se, which has passed entirely into the hands of the Federal Government. At one time Queensland was ready to have the call at Brisbane discontinued. To discontinue the call at Brisbane would not add to the time between Sydney and Vancouver, and it would lead to reduction in the cost, as New Zealand would bear a proportion of the subsidy. If the steamers called both; at Brisbane and Auckland, the trip would be lengthened by twenty four hours. Before the term of the interim agreement expired, an entirely altered service will be considered. The Canadian (Jovernment has signified that it has no objection to the steamers calling nt Auckland.
