London, June 23. Regarding, the New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association resolution on tho subject of naval defence, Mr. Massey approves of tho suggested utilisation of the canteen funds, and has taken steps to bring the resolution before Mr. Lloyd George. Mr. Massey is gratified at the patriotic spirit prompting the suggestion, and states that whatever future policy may be decided upon, New Zealand may be relied upon to do her fair share. —Aus.-N.Z. .Cable Assn.
[The N.Z.R.S.A. declared, at the recent Dominion conference, in favour of a-strong Imperial. Navy, urging the Government to "use every effort to secure the adoption of e one-Power standard as an irreducible minimum.” They recommended that New Zealand should show its earnestness in the matter by assuming at once its full share of the cost of the naval defence of the. Empire. It was further proposed that the interest from the canteen funds should be used to promote public recognition of the vital importance of naval defence.]
