JAP SUBMARINES
Still Some Risk In New Zealand Waters “As Admiral Halsey recently stated, New Zealand herself is now immune from the danger of Japanese attack either from the air or from invasion,” said the Chief of the Naval Staff, Commodore Sir Atwell Lake, in an. address in Wellington last night. “But there is still some, risk of submarine attack on our shipping or minelaying in New Zealand waters,” he added, “and, though the risk of such attack is far less than it was a year, or even six months ago. the time has not yet arrived when it can be completely ignored. Japan still has a large number of submarines in operation, and there is definite and concrete evidence that at times these Nip submarines have been in New Zealand waters.” . • In addition to routine patrois and minesweeping, various shore installations must be manned day and night, for protection must still be afforded to shipping against any possible form of attack, he added.
