The Colonial Office states that the obvious interpretation of the Duke of York’s speech at the New Zealand dinner (which was chiefly a welcome to the late High Commissioner, Sir James Allen) is that he is going to Australia for the opening of the Parliament at Canberra, and will include New Zealand in his itinerary.

The invitation of Mr Bruce, Austra-' lian Federal Premier, did not specify any particular Prince, but requested a visit from some member of the Royal Family. Sir James Allen’s speech embraced the Duke and Duchess of York, although the Duke of York did not mention the Duchess. It is understood that the latter is hopeful of accompanying the Duke.—A. and N.Z. cable.
