ROYAL NAVY
NEW ZEALAND DIVISION ( From Our Own Correspondent) (By Air Mail) LONDON, October 5. It is announced in a fleet order that ratings of the New Zealand Division serving in the R.N. on an exchange basis are in future to be referred to in official documents and correspondence as “interchange ” ratings. This also applies to R.N, ratings lent to the New Zealand Division on this basis. New Zealand interchange ratings serving in the R.N. are assessable to United Kingdom income tax on the R.N. equivalent of their naval taxable emoluments, the balance of their pay (which is defrayed from New Zealand funds) being regarded as exempt. Pay in the New Zealand naval forces is higher in all grades than in the R.N. An ordinary seaman gets 4s 6d a day instead of 2s, an A.B. on promotion Os 4d instead of 3s, a leading seaman 7s 3d instead of 4s 4d, and a petty officer 8s 2d instead of 6s. A chief petty officer starts at ,9s 6d a day, compared with 7s 6d a day in the R.N. Most of the allowances are the same as in' the Royal Navy, and the issue of marriage allowance is not subject to any age qualification.
