DESPATCH OF TROOPS MR. FRASER'S TALKS SYDNEY—MELBOURNE (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn,) (Reed. Dec. 20, 9 a.m.) SYDNEY, Dec. 19. The New Zealand Minister, Mr. P. Fraser, who has arrived in Australia on his return journey from England to the Dominion, will attend conferences with members of the Australian War Cabinet in Melbourne this week in the endeavour to co-ordinate the defence activities of Australia and New Zealand. Mr. Fraser had a brief discussion with the Prime Minister, Mr. R. G. Menzies, this afternoon and it was arranged that this discussion should be continued in Melbourne, whither Mr. Fraser and Mr. Menzies went by to-night’s train. Whatever decisions are arrived at will necessarily not be published, but Mr. Menzies indicated before their departure that there was not the slightest doubt that Australia and New Zealand would co-operate closely in arrangements for the dispatch of troops overseas and also in connection with the Empire air scheme in Canada.
