Fruit Export Freight Rates and Proposals for Western Australia
Government officials discuss freight charges for fruit export from Western Australia to the United States. A Melbourne conference with the Navy Minister considered rates not less than 4 shillings per case, compared with 2 shillings 7 pence in normal times.

Proposals included prepaying 4 shillings per case with refunds, or setting the freight at cost, or raising the sliding scale margin by 1 shilling 6 pence per case for WA. The article outlines suggested refunds and schedules, noting London average prices and regional disparities.
