"1 have nothing to add to the report already published," said the actingPrime Minister, the Hon. W. Nash, when invited in an interview to-night: to comment on the statement of AirMarshal Sir Philip Joubert in regard to a secret device for the detection of aeroplanes. Mr. Nash mentioned that, he had himself, with New Zealand scientific officers, during his last visit to Britain, inspected various equipment and stations along with Mr. 1!. A. Watson-Watt, who was formerly a member of the British Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, and was mentioned by Sir Philip as the man who had first applied the new science to the detection of aeroplanes. New Zealand, said Mr. Nash, was in the closest possible contact with these developments, both in regard to all the theoretical problems involved and with tlioir practical application in the armed services.
