It may be taken for pioneers of shipping in the Colony, and granted that the majority represent the that the minority consist almost entirely of competitive owners who come and go as suit their interests. While this tatter statement may not carry much weight with the Govern ment the Committee of this Chamber consider that it is a pgiat worthy of the Government's earnest consideration in view of the fact that their proposal would be placing responsibility and inconvenience on the majority, who are the regular traders to and from the Colony, which this Chamber consider would, he unfair and unjust.
