THE NAVAL POLICY.
The public of New Zealand iy peculiarly interested in the doings of the 'Minister of Defence in the Old Country. If, as is alleged by a correspondent of Sydney Sun, the Hon. James Allen fought the Admiralty and ultimately got his own way over the question of a local navy, it is fair to assume that the Government has
decided upon an .important change in policy. In tlu> absence of evidence in support of tho correspondent's statement, however, and in v\i>w of the fact that tJie Prime Minister asserts that it is not proposed to establish a local navy, the Sydney newspaper's version of Mr Allen's attitude on the question can hardly-be taken seriously. We should be glad to know what the Government's naval policy is going to be; but probably this will not be determined until Mr Allen has returned and the whole question has been placed before Cabinet.
