NATIONAL DEFENCE DISCUSSED BY PRIME MINISTER
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Feb. 16. National defence was discussed by the Prime Minister, Mr. P. Fraser, when he addressed the national council of the New Zealand Federation of Labour yesterday. Mr. Fraser last addressed the council on this subject just before his departure for the recent conference of the Commonwealth Prime Ministers in London. At that time the council deferred decision on its attitude on national service until the return of Mr. Fraser from London. Mr. Fraser spoke on defence subjects yesterday but no decision on policy was made by the council. The meeting will be continued today. The federation’s wage policy is also under discussion.
