EXAMPLE OF CO-OPERATION

UNITS OF BRITISH NAVY. VISITING ADMIRAL SPEAKS. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. “I think the relations between the two Dominions and Britain with regard to naval matters are an example of Empire co-operation which might well serve as a guide in any efforts to strengthen the link which binds together the peoples with common ideals constituting the British Commonwealth of nations,” was an expression of opinion given by Rear-Admiral R. C. Dalglish, of the Australian Navy, at a luncheon tendered to him by the New Zealand Club this afternoon.

“Ignorance and lack of understanding,” said Rear-Admiral Dalglish, “are the only dangers in the path of perfect cooperation. One might therefore well repeat to-day the advice on British citizenship given by Mr. Stanley Baldwin in his Empire Day speech a few years ago—‘Know your own Empire.’ Our cruise in these waters has provided a number of us with an opportunity of visiting New Zealand for the first time and has helped us to know New Zealand, in addition to meeting your own people. It has allowed my officers and men to meet the New Zealand Division at naval exercises, competitive games and in recreation. All are for our mutual benefit, and my officers and I are much impressed by the weapon of efficiency and keenness of th© New Zealand Division.”
