THE BATTLESHIP NEW ZEALAND
AN OFFICIAL VISIT. (Received 10.20 a.m.) London, January 23. At an official visit to the battleship New Zealand, Mr. Herbert Samuel. Mr. Alfred Lyttelton, Sir Ellison Macartney (Governor-designate for Tasmania), the Hon. Thomas Mackenzie (High Commissioner for New Zealand), and many members of Parliament were present. Lord Harcourt, who presided, referred to the approaching departure of New Zealand's Dreadnought on what ho might call an Imperial mission. Sir Joseph Ward, in reply, said the invitation to Overseas Dominions to participate in the Defence Committee was a step forward, but not enough. British statesmanship should evolve an Empire Parliament to deal with Imperial questions and provide a strong irresistable navy. New Zealand was now in a position to defend herself from raiders.
