GUARDING THE PACIFIC
SYDNEY, June 18.
Mr Parr, Mayor of Auckland, in the course of an interview, said : “I am confident that a great majority of the people of New Zealand are dead against sending money Home merely to strengthen the North Sea fleet. If we send a-quarter of a million to Great Britain, it just means that Mr Lloyd George will reduce his own Estimates to that amount, and we shall be no better off in the Pacific. The solution of the problem is the union of New Zealand, Australia, and Canada far naval defence.”
