DEFENCE ADMINISTRATION.
Sir Joseph Ward, in refusing the request of the Auckland members of Parliament that a Royal Commission should be set up to inquire into the administration of the Defence Department, states that*'! have had no information of the uneasiness referred to, and which you state is prevalent in the Dominion, regarding the administration of defence matters, but quite to the contrary," says the Auckland "Herald." The Prime Minister protests? too much. Auckland is seething with dissatisfaction, uneasiness and indignation, to the personal knowledge of every volunteer and of every person interested in defence. From,whom then does Sir Joseph Ward obtain his "quite the contrary" information? which is either wilfully misleading or astoundingly ignorant, and what pussible confidence can be replaced in "quite the contrary" information from the districts when* we all know the feeling in this district?
