BATTLESHIP NEW ZEALAND.
AN UNFOUNDED RUMOUR. Publicity has been given to a rumour that the battleship New Zealand has been selected as the flagship of n Paciflo fleet to bo maintained collectively by Australia and New Zealand. There riio Rood grounds for stating that so for as actual events are coneeriied tho rumour is unfounded and that the suggested employment of (ho Now Zealand has not boon discussed by the Governments 'concerned.' On llio other hand tho Now Zealand it just such n vessel as might bu ssacted for tho flagship of a Pacific fleet in tho event of Australia and New Zealand joinin/ hands in naval defence and it iB not impossible that tho battle-cruiser may ultimately l)o selected for ■ that purpose. Probably tho theorists who started: tho rumour based it upon no more substantial foundation than this possibility which no doubt is elTonsthcned by tho circuinstances under which tho New Zealand was built and paid for.
