[Per Press Association. Copyright J WELLINGTON, This Day.
A commission appointed to inquire into the circumstances surrounding the loss of certain ships by enemy action and possible leakages of information from New Zealand has been sitting continuously for the last six weeks. The commission has not found it necessary to sit elsewhere than at Wellington and Auckland. Nearly 1000 witnesses have been examined and a great volume of evidence has been taken. The witnesses have included not only survivors from captured ships, but also persons who appeared .able to indicate sources of possible leakage and useful precautions against it. Useful Suggestions.
A great number of useful suggestions have been received in writing from members of the public in various parts of the Dominion. Naturally it has often happened that the same suggestion has been received from several correspondents. v It is anticipated that the commission will have completed its task by the end of the present week, .and any persons having information which may be of use to the commission is requested to make it available before then. The commission is sitting daily at Wellington.
