NAVAL DEFENCE.
CONTROVERSY OVER POLICY. DISAGREEMENT OF PREMIERS. DECISION MAY BE DEFERRED, By Telegraph.—Press Assn—Copyright. Received June 23, 11.30 p.m. London, June 22. The Australian Press Association learns that it is probable that naval defence will not be determined at this conference of Premiers. Military policy possibly may be determined, particularly in relation to land defences eastward from Suez, but there is a sharp division of opinion between Canada and South Africa on the one hand and Australasia on the other relative to the heavy liabilities involved in the proposed naval policies, which are calculated to provoke antagonisms. Hence the suggestion to discuss generalities without attempting to commit the Conference to any concrete policy upon which the delegates are hopelessly divided. Probably a separate defence conference will be later.—Auts.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
