AUSTRALIAN NAVY TO VISIT NEW ZEALAND.
The Australian Minister for Defence (Senator E. D. Millen) stated on Tuesday last that an invitation had been recieved from the New Zealand Government for one or more of the ships of the Royal Australian Navy to visit the Dominion. "The Government," said Senator Millen, "has given a most cordial reception to the suggestion, and it is now most probable that btich a visit will be arranged towards the end of the year." It is hoped tha.t the whole fleet, with Iho exception of the submarines, may cross the Tasinan Sea. There is no doubt, says the Sydney Morning Herald, , that an enthusiastic reception will be given to the lleet in New Zealand, where the. new policy of Mr. Massey's Government for the establishment of a local navy on Australian lines has been received with growing approval. It is felt by both Governments that the proposed vibit woidd do much to convince the people of New Zealand as to the community of interests in defence matters which exists between the two, dominions, and to foster the same healthy naval sentiment in New Zealand which has been created in the Commonwealth.
