ments for the new service which VIII

ment $4,000 and Canada a subsidy
of S1S5,OO0 a year. making a total OF
S330,O0O a year. When the time came
for a renewal of the contract, Can
ada was desirous of making a call
at New Zealand, that country having
offered a substantial subsidy, and as
well agreed to reciprocal trade agree
ments with Canada, whereas the Aus
tralian government refused Canada's
proposals for a similar treaty
