THE CORONATION
NO COMiMONWEALTH TROOPS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Melbourne, January 30. The Federal Government has decided, as it would involve an expenditure of over £33,000, not to send a military contingent to the Coronation. COLONIAL REPRESENTATION. Received 21, 1 a.m. Capetown, January 20. The South African Union is sending to the Coronation 200 volunteers and police. Rhodesia sends fifty. SIR JOSEPH WARD INTERVIEWED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. , Wellington, Last Night. Interviewed 'by a New Zealand Times reporter to-night, Sir Joseph Ward said it was absurd for anyone to suggest that the Government was keeping anything ■back concerning invitations to the Coronation. No invitation of anv kind had been received by the Government for members of the Legislature to attend the ceremony. If it had been, members of Parliament would have been communicated with at once. The Premier said it was intended to send a contingent of troops from New Zealand, but he had strongly urged that in view of the fact that Coronation celebrations of a suitable character would be carried out in this Dominion, a body of Imperial troops might be sent here.
