TRANSPORT PROBLEMS.
AS NATIONAL QUESTION. ROYAL COMMISSION SUGGESTED. “That the Government be urged to proceed at the earliest possible moment with the setting up of a Royal Commission to discuss the whole or tne transport question as a vital national problem,” was a resolution moved by Mr Hope Gibbons, Wellington, at the conference of motor traders this morning and carried. . ■ „. Speaking to his motion, Mr Gibbons expressed the opinion that a Royal Commission would bring the most satisfactory result. , , „ Mr L. Avery seconded the motion. Mr Smillie (Palmerston North) thought that such a motion would be rather a rapid proceeding, as it was not known what the Government was going to do. Perhaps it would be advisable to wait a little. Mr D. F. Bauchop stated that the contents of the Transport Bill were not yet known. Mr G. H. Scott (Wellington) considered that, if the Government appointed a Royal Cftmmisison, the whole question would be then outside the curse of party politics. The motion was then carried.
