NAVAL DOCK
THE AUSTRALIAN PROPOSAL. NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, July »8. In view of the intention of the Government to have a second cruiser stationed in New Zealand waters, much interest attaches to a cablegram from Melbourne suggesting that New Zealand might co-operate in the construction by the Commonwealth Government of a floating dock at Cockatoo Island, Sydney, capable of accommodating battleships. When the matter was brought to the notice of the Premier to-day he replied that he had not received any communication from the Australian Government on the subject, and was not in a position, therefore, to make a considered statement.
