NEW ZEALAND'S NAVY.
TWO POINTED QUESTIONS.
Preee Awn--By Telegraph—Copyright Received 8.35 p.m. London, April 22.
Mr R. L. Outhwaite (Liberal) in the House of Commons asked whether the Admiralty were aware of the endeavouri that were being made by the Australian Government to induce New Zealand to co-operate in raising a local navy when the Admiralty requested New Zealand to allow the battle cruiser to be added to the first cruiser squadron; also whether it was the Admiralty's policy to isolate the Commonwealth in its endeavours to safeguard Imperial interests in the Pacific. The Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, replied "No" to both questions. He had, he said, had the advantage of a long discussion with the Hon. James Allen, New Zealand Defence Minister, and was fully advised of the situation in Australasia.
