EMPIRE DEFENCE
NAVAL PROTECTION OF INDIA British Official Wireless (Received November 14, 5.5 p.m.) RUGBY, November 13. A meeting took place at the Dominions Office between United Kingdom Ministers, including Sir John Simon and Mr J. H, Thomas, and repi'esentatives of the Dominions and India, to place informally before the latter the latest position In regard to naval conversations with foreign Governments. PRIME MINISTER CRITICISED REAL PURPOSE OP ADVISER’S VISIT United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received November 14, 11.10 p.m.) LONDON, November 14. The lobbyist of “The Daily Herald” describes Mr Ramsay Macdonald’s reply in the House of Commons, relating to Sir Maurice Hankey’s visit to the Dominions, as an understatement and says: “Sir Maurice Hankey’s tour is definitely not merely personal. He is discussing naval and military questions with each Dominion Government and his reported object is to induce them to increase their armaments and forces in an elaborate plan of Imperial war co-operation. The question is being asked in the lobby why this ‘hush hush’ pretence and the statement that the tour is purely private.”
