Vancouver Service Shift Seen in Federal Control
Melbourne reports central postal authorities note Queensland Government is no longer linked to the Vancouver service as the Federal Government now holds it. Calls at Brisbane would not shorten travel between Sydney and Vancouver and would shift subsidies to New Zealand. If steamers visit Brisbane and Auckland the voyage lengthens by twenty four hours. An altered service will be considered before the interim agreement ends and Canada has signified no objection to Auckland calls.
