NAVAL DEFENCE .
NEW ZEALAND’S SHARE,
Wellington, Yesterday,
In replying to a Navy League deputation to-day, Mr Massey said: “Later on, we shall he expected to do more than we do now. We cannot expect England itself to maintain the Navy for the defence of the Empire. Each of the other countries will have to do its share. Some of the other countries are not so keenly interested to the same extent, neither is South Africa, but Australia and New Zealand are most certainly.”
Some better arrangements would have to be made by which other countries of the Empire would take over part of the burden which up to the present had been borne by the British people. We were doing more now, and in a year or two we would probably he asked to take over another of those small vessols, such as were required for policing of the Pacific and the protection of merchant ships in time of war. He had been told the new flagship Dunedin was the best ship of her class in Ibe Royal Navy. Probably when we came to take over another ship one of the same class would be provided.
