NEW ZEALAND PREMIER'S OPINION

THE SINGAPORE BASE,

(IROCON REUTER'S AGENCY.]

WELLINGTON, N.Z., July 27. In response to inquiries, the Prime Minister, Sir Joseph Ward, stated that the British Govern- ment's proposals with reference to naval defence have received the at

tention of the New Zealand Dorion Government, which has communicated a tentative expres- sion of views to London in regard

to the matter.

Sir Joseph Ward said that his masaze made clear that the New Zealand Government attached the greatest importance to the question

naval defence, particularly the naval base at Singapore; and the declared views of New Zealand on the hatter question, expressed on provius occasions,

remained un- altered.

ACCUSATIONS AGAINST A WIFE DISPROVED.

DYING MAN'S DENIAL.

Lord Herrivale summed up to the special jury in the Divorce Court on the resumption of the case in which a man who find died since the petition was presented was cited as co-respondent.

The suit was brought by Mr. Fre- derick H. Claydon, a member of a City Erm of wharfngers, of Peter sham-road, Richmond, Surrey, who alleged that his wife, Mrs. Dorothy Blanche Claydon, had committed misconduct with Mr. Ernest Adama who had since died, at her bung alow, Kelowna, Brighton-road, Lancing, Sussex. 』,"

All the charges were denied, and the jury found that misconduct had not taken place. Lord Merrivale dismissed the suis.

Lord Merrivale pointed out that Mr. Claydon contended that from the autumn of 1997 to the summer of 1929 his wife was living an adab terous life with Mr. Adams..

Mrs. Claydon was denying the charges. and it should be remen bered that Mr. Adadis up to the time of his death was also defend-

Sir Joseph pointed out that New Zealand's interest in the Singapore base vas indicated by the provision of a contribution of £1,000,000, of which two instalments totallinging the suit. £250,000 had already been paid. Hope was also expressed that no alteration in the policy on Imperial defence would be made without Consultation with the Dominions by the Imperial Government,

Sir Joseph added that it had been suggated to the British Govern ment that the matter should be re survel for discussion at the next Imperial conference.

Anglo-American Discussions,

None of the witnesses had charg- ed Mr. Adams with unbecoming familiarity to Mrs. Claydou. That was a startling thing, and yet the case was presented with charges and imputations, which, if they could be accepted, made it a deadly case.
