Mail Contracts.

Melbourne, February 15 There is a strong feeling of annoy ance in the Cabinet at the action of the Imperial postal authorities in extending the mail contracts for a further period of two years, without insisting on the concessions asked for by Victoria being granted; The question is raised whether it is neces sary for the Victorian Government to handicap itself with a contract from which no advantage whatever is derived, and why it should not with draw from the contract and make its own arrangements for the carnage of mails. The example of New Zealand is pointed to as a country which manages to get along without paying mail subsidy, and it is contended if the £26,000 odd paid by Victoria to the Orient and P. and O. Companies were available to encourage further competi tion in carrying Australian produce, the present demand for lower ocean freights would be speedily realised.
