OUR DEFENCE SYSTEM
LONDON, May 25,
At the Royal Colonial Institute's banquet Sir Joseph Ward, referring to New Zealand's scheme of universal military training, paid a tribute to Lord Kitchener, without whose assistance and influence it would never have been possible. He hoped that by-and-bye they would have the inexpressible pleasure of again receiving Lord Kitchener in New Zealand. —(Cheers.) Whatever contribution New Zealand had given to the support of the Empire as a whole and towards the upkeep of the British navy was not due to their limited resources, but to the belief of the great majority of her people in the principle of " One King, one Empire, and one navy," owned by the whole of the Empire for the protection of all.
