MR ALLEN'S MISSION.
A number of the leading newspapers of the Dominion that, protested against the vsending Home of the Hon J. Allen on a financial mission, are now recognising the necessity for the Minister of Defence coming into immediate touch with the Imperial Dofenco Council on the question of the national defence. The Dunedin Star sajs :
"Every capa.ble citizen now admits that the mission on which Mr Allen is bound, as far as it relates to the defence of our common Empire, is the supremo one. There is nothing to equal it in importance and urgency. All our schemes and dreams of reform, all our proposal? for doing thin and that, whether in educational, religious, or social spheres—all are dependent upon the continuance of the Empire. It is only the foolish and tho ignorant who cannot see this. The people of the Mother Land, and of the Oversea Dominions have reached a sticre in their national existence when their right +.O remain as they are in challenged."
