Mr Myers, of Auckland, interviewed, said he was glad to recognise that the Imperial spirit was growing in Canada equally with New Zealand. The vital question for consideration now was the defence of the Pacific. The time for definite action had arrived. The foundations ought now to be laid for the future policing of the Pacific. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand ought to unite for this purpose. While fully recognising their indebtedness to the British Navy, be felt that the time had arrived when the Dominions ought to share more of the burdens of Empire. It was unpleasant to think that New Zealand's existence depended on the friendly treaty with Japan. Tie creation of even the nucleus of a navy at the present time was a step in the right direction. If the Empire ever ( falls apart it will be due to lack of sympathy and lack of imagination, caused by lack of knowledge. The interchange of visits of people's representatives throughout the Empire was eminently desirable.
