New Zealand’s “Gift” Warship. An alternative to the Government's policy of spending money on air defence, which he described as the most efficient and effective method, was referred to by Mr. W. J. Lyon, M.P. for Waitemata, addressing a meeting at Wellington. “We could spend another £1,500,000 on a new H.M.S. New Zealand," he said, “but we could not do it honestly, because we have not paid for the old one yet." (Laughter.) “Vienna File.” More than 50 letters have been received by the Lord Mayor of Melbourne from residents of Vienna who are anxious, in view of the political situation, to migrate to Australia. In what is described by the Lord Mayor as his “Vienna File,” are letters from doctors, engineers and skilled artisans, a majority of whom are people of some means, and would make excellent settlers.
