SHOWN Keen, practical interest in the pro-

ministers have conferred.
New South Wales has been furnished
with plans by Mr.. Cutler the superintendent
at Walsh Island State Yards, showing that
composite wheat ships, of hardwood and
steel, between 1000 and 1000 tons, can be
built at Walsh Islands with his presen,

The position from the Commonwealth
point of view Is set out In n statement made

obviously useless to embark upon a great
enterprise such as this, which involves the
expenditure of a very great deal of money,
