CHIEFS IN AUSTRALIA PROPOSAL GIVEN EFFECT LIAISON HELD IMPORTANT (By Telegraph.—Pres? Association) WELLINGTON, Thursday The Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Jones, interviewed today, said a proposal that staff talks should be held between the Chiefs of New Zealand Naval, General and Air Staffs and the Chiefs of the respective Australian Staffs was approved recently by the Government and agreed to by the Commonwealth Government. “The purpose of these talks,” said Mr Jones, “is to allow informal, but full discussions on all matters of defence.

Parry, Chief of the Naval Staff, took the opportunity when in Australia recently, of discussing with, the Chief of the Commonwealth Naval Staff
