THE DOMINION'S DREADNOUGHT
(Per United Press Association.) GISBORNE, April 17. At a meeting of the Land Board to-day, Mr Lane gave notice to move, "That, while approving of the proposed purchase of the Tangoi estate for closer settlement, the Board draws the attention of the Government to the suitability of much of the Hawke's Bay Province for closer settlement, and considers that the money borrowed for closer settlement would constitute a far better defence for these islands than the offer to Britain of an empty Dreadnought, which a single bomb may send to the bottom."
