Hopes of further refunds against losses caused to Auckland importers through the diversion of two liners on the outbreak of war io Admiralty work which necessitated the unloading of cargo in India are raised as a result of a communication from the London Chamber of Commerce to the Auckland chamber. The Auckland chamber made representations through the Australian Associated Chambers of Commerce some time ago and the London chamber in its letter pointed out that substantial concessions in port trust and customs charges, which it was thought would be .considerably more than half, had been secured As. however, other aspects of the matter had since been raised, the chamber was in communication with the Ministry of Shipping with a view to ascertaining whether any facilities exist, or can be provided, to enable traders who have suffered losses to claim compensation.
