NAVAL NEEDS
ASSISTING THEI MOTHER COUNTRY,
Bv Telegraph-Press Aeeociation. Auckland, April 16.
Mr. Massey, replying to the commercial travellers’ fartwell, said that they had played an important part in ths history of lhe Dominion. There was far greater work for them to do. Th« Empire had to be kept together at all costs. Only by tho unswerving loyalty of the community could this bo accomplished. Commercial travellers were propagandists. He would like them to impress upon the people that tho future of the Empire depended upon naval de. fence, and that it was essential that maritime connections should be maintained. The time would come when the Dominion must assist tho Mother Country in the maintenance of an Imperial Navy. The policy must be to do as much as possible. He thought New Zealand would have and maintain her own ships as protection for her commerce.
