DEADLOCK IN AUSTRALIA

reasonable agreement, but| extravagant demands, it is stated, have made this impossible.

It is regarded as imperative that a joint administration, shall be established in Australia, which would enable the overhead charged to be reduced and the routing of the traffic to be unified. It is obvious that the full benefits of the marger cannot be obtained unless this can be secured.

Surprise is expressed that the Commonwealth Government, which holds the majority of the 'shares in the Amalgamated Company, should have taken to steps to secure settlement and should not have in- sisted on publication of the balance- sheet for the year ended last June, which is still withheld. The suspicion has thereby been created bere that private shareholders are being supported rather than the public interests which are most concerned.
