DISCUSSION IN THE HOUSE.

By Telegraph—From our Parliamentary Correspondent^ Welliagtoa, <*>fe. 16. When the Premier tabled Lord Jellicoe'a report in the House of Representatives to-day, Sir Joseph Ward expressed the hope that any necessary legislation would not be rushed. .... Mr Massey agreed witi this, and expressed the hope that consideration ot the report would be on mon-party lines. New Zealanders would realise rrom the report that we might be placed in. a serious position in years to come, and we ouaht to prepare for the possibilities. In all probability legislation would be required next session, and he could only hope that the representatives of the people would not look at the matter trom a Party point of view, but purely from the viewpomt of the Empire. The Premier Lldedthat he would certainly give an afternoon, possibly a whole day, this session to the discussion ot the report.
