DEFENCE POLICY
SUGGESTED CONFERENCE SOUTH PACIFIC DOMINIONS & BRITAIN. NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT MEANTIME. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. CANBERRA, March 8. The Prime Minister, Mr Lyons, declines to comment on a cable from London published in the Sydney “Sun” today to the effect that a defence conference between representatives of Nev/ Zealand, Australia and Britain will be held in New Zealand probably late in March. Details were to have been announced simultaneously by Mr Savage, Prime Minister of New Zealand; and Mr Lyons, but, following a radio-telephone talk with Mr Savage, Mr. Lyons said that Mr Savage was hot yet ready to make a statement. Mr Lyons, therefore, refused to make one. Air Marshal Longmere, member of the British Air Mission at present in Australia, stated today that he had not received official advice of the proposed conference, but before he left London for Australia there was a suggestion that such a conference might be held and that he might be required to attend it.
