PROCLAIMED IN NEW ZEALAND
Purely Precautionary Measures ANNOUNCEMENT BY ACTING-PRIME MINISTER (By Telegraph.--Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A proclamation declaring a state of emergency in New Zealand was issued last night. An announcement that the Governor-General had that day, on the advice of Ministers, proclaimed such an emergency was given by the Acting-Prime Minister, Mr. Fraser, just before the week-end adjournment was taken in the House of Representatives in the afternoon. i The proclamation, said Mr. Fraser, was a matter of machinery, and amounted to nothing more than an obvious precautionary measure. An outline was given by Mr. Fraser of regulations it was intended to have gazetted. These made their appearance last night. They deal with censorship and publicity, naval mobilisation, shipping control, army mobilisation, the Air Force Reserve and price stabilisation. There was a tense atmosphere in the House as Mr. Fraser made his statement.
