Visit to New Zealand.
THE AUSTRALIAN NAVY.
AT THE END OF 1914. [By Electric telegraph— Copyright] [Unitsd Prfbs Association.] ' (Received 10.5 a.m.) Sydney, June 16. The major portion of the Australian fleet will visit New Zealand at the end of the year. The date has not been arranged, but Mr Millen states that the submarines will not. accompany them. It is also questionable whether the torpedoers will go. COCKATOO DOCK MATTERS. (Received 9.5 a.m.) Sydney, June 16. Discussing the defects in the equipment and organisation of the Cockatoo Dock, Mr Cook (Premier) said that whatever is required will be provided. It would have been far better to have allowed the'building of the fleet unit to be completed in England, whilst the dock could have been overhauled and made ready to build subsidiary vessels, which are quite due now. We should have had the fleet in being complete and £400,000 of good money saved, which would have purchased another cruiser.
