SHIPPING SPACE
IN THIRD YEAR OF WAR. AUSTRALIAN STATEMENT CONFIRMED. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) SYDNEY, June 27. The statement that the shipping space that will be available for the export of Australian foodstuffs in the third year of the war will be only onefifth of that which was available in the first year of the war, made yesterday by the Minister of Commerce, Sir Earle Page, is confirmed as being approximately correct, though the space may fluctuate because of international conditions. The possibility of some misquotation in the Australian cable message was suggested by the Acting-Prime Minister, Mr Nash, when his attention was drawn yesterday to the cabled statement of the Australian Minister of Commerce, Sir Earle Page, that lhe shipping space that would be available for the export of Australian foodstuffs in the third year of the war would be only one-fifth of that which was available in the first year of the war. Mr Nash said that the figures he gave in the statement on Thursday night were correct figures, and did not in any way suggest that the shipping tonnage available for carrying the produce was only equal to one-fifth of what it was in the first year of the war.
