HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The House met at 2.30. - ADDRESS-IN-REPLY. Mr. Forbes moved the Address-in-Reply. He said the speech from the throne outlined a wise and statesmanlike policy in connection with defence. The effect of Sir Joseph Ward's presence at the Imperial Defence Conference would be very good. It would be unfair to the Premier to continue the session in his absence, in view of the important legislation to be dealt with. Mr. Taylor (Thames) seconded. The time, he said, had come for a change in the British Navy, and the coming conference would be the beginning of that change.
