TELEGRAM.
[Answered by No. 40176.]
Your telegram _10th December.* It is impracticable for any Commonwealth Ministers to visit England during the ensuing year, but in view of great importance of the Dominions adopting a common policy, and having a complete understanding on question of co-operation for naval defence, it is suggested that a subsidiary conference should be convened in Australia, in either January or February, 1913. If this not practicable, Ministers would be prepared to attend a conference in New Zealand, South Africa, or Vancouver, Canada.-DENMAN.
