About Shipping

From Our Own Correspondent

Apia, Nov. 25.

WESTERN SAMOA criticism of the shipping service being provided by Union SS Co. is being vigorously publicised by our new newspaper. The company has a complete monopoly of regular shipping between this Territory and Australia and New Zealand.

It is stated here that a consignment of English and Continental trans-shipment goods urgently 'needed for Christmas trade, which arrived at Suva in October, were left behind by the November “Matua” without apparent reason.

Government is being urged to purchase a suitable vessel to provide an alternative service between Apia and Suva.
