HON JAMES ALLEN.
PUBLISHED AT i P.M.
' INTERVIEWED IN LONDON. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. * (Received February 1, 10 a.m.) LONDON, January 31. The Hon James Allen, in an interview, said that the full burden of the Pacific fleet should be borne by those living in the Pacific. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and even Africa . and India, should unite for that purpose. • Local navies for local purposes were useless. The fleet must be under one control. New Zealand, ho said, hoped to place, an expeditionary force of 8000 men at the disposal of the . Mother Country for service in any part of the Empire. The "Pall Mall Gazette" says that Mr Allon's 8000 men is another instance of New Zealand's patriotism. If other dominions were to organise similarly, this woidd yield an army ready for ser- . vice almost equalling the Motherland's expeditionary force. Meanwhile it would be necessary establish Imperial patrol routes.
