H.M.A.S. MELBOURNE
MESSAGES OF GOODWILL. Auckland, Last Night. A civic reception was tendered to Admiral Dumaresq and the officers of the Melbourne to-day. Replying io the Mayor’s speech of welcome, Admiral Dumaresq said that he had no political or naval mandate except to convey to the people of New Zealand the goodwill of the Commonwealth. The naval position, as between Australia and New Zealand in the Pacific could be summed up in one word, “Anzac.” That word Avas going to be a most potent one in connection with the Pacific policy of the future. Unfortunately, na\'ies would continue to be a necessity because the sea-girt Dominions had made arrangements for their commerce to go to and fro on the seas, otherwise they jeopardised their existence. Statesmen could not use diplomacy without a minimum of force. The navy was an insurance. The people of New Zealand knew I hat and acted up to it.
