London, April 18,

At today's sitting of the Imperial inference the question of the naval ; •i-fence of Australasia was again under I consideration. Lord George Hamilton, 'TstLord of the Admiralty, submitted, on behalf of the Imperial Government, a modified scheme providing for the to«otenanca of a force of additional *«J«Uin Australasian waters, the cost 01 .which would slightly exceed the estimate made by the Australia and «*w Zealand delegates at the meeting « "iday last.

Two vessels from the combined fleets would be stationed in ]STew Zealand. Only three ot tlie auxiliary fleat would be permanently coniuussionad.

Sir Patrick Jennings was in favour ot the cost being divided on the basis of population.
