AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE.
CO-OPERATION WITH DOMINION. “NEW ZEALAND THE WEAK LINK.” (United Pres 3 Association— Copyright.) CANBERRA, November 3. Senator H. S. Foil, who represents the Minister for Defence (Mr H. V. Thorby) in the Senate, said yesterday that New Zealand was co-operating satisfactorily with Australia in defence matters. Exchanges were arranged between officers of the New Zealand and Australian Staff Corps, and New Zealand officers and non-commissioned officers were attending military courses in Australia. The resources of the Australian munition establishments had been investigated by visiting New Zealand officers, and a considerable amount of work had been undertaken on behalf of the New Zealand Government, including the supply of munitions and various types of armaments. Senator Foil said: “New Zealand is the weak link in the whole Empire chain, and the strength of our sister ID'omininon is vital to us.” Ho added that because of the progress of the Australian organisation Australia had been able to assist her sister Dominions.
