employed.
The Board is convinced that the opening of the Australian coastal trade, to overseas ships under any system of protection that was not virtually prohibitive must neces- sarily result in a considerable re- duction in the earning capacity of the interstate companies, even to a degree that would seriously affect their capacity to carry on: "It is evident, continues the report, that If overscké vessels calling at Hobart had availed themselvas: of: the exemptions made in their. favour it would: Asva gone a long way, if not the whole way, to re- moving the disability from which Tasmania is sufferlig. -The ques tion, therefore, arises whether some pressure could not be brought to bear on the overseas companies concerned with a view to ensuring that they take advantage of any exemptions or permita which may be granted in future or whethers If some assurance could not be given of the unlikelihood of hos tility on the part of Labour.".
