TRADE RELATIONS
NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA. STATEMENT BY PRIME MINISTER. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, October 10. Admiral G. F. Hyde and the staff of H.M.A.S. Australia were entertained by the Government to-day at a luncheon. Ten Parliamentarians were present. The Hon. J. G t Coates said: “We in New Zealand are inseparably wrapped up with the fortunes of Australians. We are trying to make exactly the same provision in principle for the efficient protection of your trade routes by joining with Australia and other parts of the Empire in methods that will effect that object.” He congratulated the Prime Minister and people of Australia on taking the course they had to ensure that their trade routes would be protected. Trade relations between New Zealand and Australia had always been pleasant and good feeling among sister countries was growing more and more along the lines of general desire of most people in the Empire to get together to a greater extent than hitherto. The Prime Minister voiced the wish that units of the New Zealand and Australian Navies might meet for the purposes of training and fraternising.
