There is rather a disquieting cable
published today with regard to the
new Queensland-Canad mail serv-
ice which was inaugurated some three
or four months back. 1t will be re-
membered that the New Zealanders
were very much put out at the service
being transferred to Queensland and
their colony left out altogether We
have been congratulating ourselves at
the prospects of trade rotations with
Canada which' the tri-weekly calling
of these steamers held out, and now
the news that the New Zealand Ship
ping Company has purchased the good
will and contracts of the line comes
upon us somewhat in the nature of a
shock. The steamers MiOwera, AOran-
gi and WarrimOO, with which we are
now becoming we'll acquainted, are to
go with the purchase. The New Zea-
land Shipping Company, of course, I'M
dertakes to fulfill existing contract to
the end of the stipulated period. We
may, however, take it for granted that
all things being equal, New Zealand
will be given the preference over
Queensland should the former desire
a renewal of her previous communiea-
ton with Canada. The time of the
contract, although only just started,
will not be long in running out. 1t is
to be hoped, then, that our trade with
our Canadian friends will have grown
to such an extent that its discontinue
ance will mean not only a loss to our
selves but also to the company should
it so decide. Another point also is
that in this matter it will place us, as
a portion of federated Australia, at
the mercy of a colony which seems to
be DESTROYS of placing itself deliber-
ately outside the union of the Austria
lasian colonies.-Queenslan Au-
