THE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE.
WHAT MR ALLEN SAID. Newspapers, generally, have attacked a statement about an expeditionary force made to an interviewer in London by the Hon. Jas. Allen, and some controversy has arisen over what Mr Allen said or implied in the statement of which a brief summary was cabled. The Hon. W. F. Massey (Prime Minister), having cabled Home to Mr Allen a question on the subject, asking him to state as nearly as possible what he said, has received the following reply:— "I wished to consult with the Imperial authorities in regard to organisation necessary for expeditionary force, its formation, number, and nature of contingent that would fit in with Imperial unity in case of necessity, so tliat when men volunteered under our Act everything would be ready for them to go."
