NAVY OF THE FUTURE
HON. J. ALLEN'S VIEWS. TRADE MATTERS ALSO DISCUSSED, [Per United • Press Association.] WELLINGTON, November 22. •Speaking at the opening of the Chambers of Commerce Conference to-day, tha Hon. J. Allen said that when the war was" over the question of naval defence would have to be considered anew. Tho navy of the, future must be an Imperial navy, and must be under one control, and the. Dominions must have representation. Each Dominion must take a share in providing men. and ultimately ships. The nation must .see to it that the British -Navy commanded tlie soawavs of the world. Speaking on the subject ofi'trade after Ihe Avar. Mr Allen said he. was Trot fool enough to think that it was possible- that all commercial relations with the enemv could be entirely stopped. It seemed obvious that there must be some give-and-take, but not the kind of give-and-take existing before the jvar, when Germany was taking a ll and giving nothing, la future «bur industries and copper mine* must be m our own hands. Tho conference passed resolutions of appreciation of the work of the Navy and Army, and also the. Allies.
