In view of the great service that the British Navy is doing in keeping the seas clear so that the produce of New | Zealand is able to reach England safely I Mr, A. P. Whatman, of Mastcrton, suggests that each wool grower in New Zealand should donate one fleece or more per bale of wool for the purpose of providing a sum of money to be handed over to the Imperial authorities with which to build hospitals in England for tlie use of men of the British Navy, to be a permanent institution after the war, under the title of "Our Navy Hospitals," Mr. Whatman considers that such a scheme would result in at least £200,000 being obtained. He suggests that the wool should be sent to London and sold there on behalf of the project and the money handed over to. the British Government.
