MR. FRASER EMPHATIC. GOVERNMENT'S INTENTIONS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. "The remarks made by Mr. J. Burn, of Wellington, in criticism of the Government's efforts in arms production are based on an entirely wrong assumption," said the Prime Minister, the Hon. P. Fraser, to-day. The Prime Minister added that the Minister of Supply, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, had gone into the whole question of making munitions in Nev\*Zealaiul, and had investigated the possibilities of obtaining supplies of the necessary materials and parts from Australia and elsewhere. "It is the intention of the Government," said Mr. Fraser,, "to utilise to the full the workshop and factory resources of the Dominion for the making of munitions, up to the limits set by the number of skilled workers available at present, or who can be trained in a reasonable period, and the materials in the Dominion or procurable from abroad."
