CO-OPERATION BETWEEN NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA [U.P.A. —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] MELBOURNE, 25th June, i The New Zealand Minister of Supply, I Mr Sullivan, arrived in Melbourne to- | day on his war purchasing and organisI ing mission. He interviewed the Con>- | monwealth Supply Minister, Sir FredI erick Stewart and will see the Prime J Minister, Mr Menzies, and other [ Ministers later. He will remain in Australia ftill the mission is completed, 1 whether it takes days or weeks. Mr Sullivan said that the time had come for industrial co-operation between New Zealand and Australia. New Zealand’s organisation had gone satis- ! factorily, but the new crisis demanded 1 still further activity. He hoped to j | place orders in Australia for trawlers I that could be converted to mine-sweep- ; ers, Bren-gun carriers, materials for | filling shells, and munition machinery generally. ! “So far the Commonwealth has | shown a spirit of co-operation, and I working together, Australia and New Zealand should achieve results,” said Mr Sullivan.
