MR. COATES IN CANADA
PREFERENCE URGED
COST OF NAVAL DEFENCE
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) VANCOUVER, 19th January.
Mr. Coates, interviewed at Winnipeg, maintained that New Zealand should bo given preference by Canada over countries other than British in the matter of trade, where her products wcro recognised as equal or superior in quality. He advocated an adjustment of the trade balance between the two sister Dominions,
In the matter of naval defence, Mr. Coates reiterated that what tho individual Dominions chose to -do was entirely for tlieir self-governing peoples to decide. "We ia New Zealand are going to increase gradually our outlay on naval defence. At present it is costing us 8s or 9s per head. The development of a new country costs a great deal of money and precludes expenditure of immense sums on defence."
