THE SECRETARY OF STATE to THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL.
(Sent 7 p.m. 10 January, 1913.) TELEGRAM.
Your telegram 9th January * Please inform your Ministers, owing to situation of public affairs here, we find it quite impossible to hold General Naval Defence Conference at date named and places suggested. Other Dominions could not attend at short notice, and it is doubtful whether they would desire a General Conference at present. Defence Minister of New Zealand is now on his way to England and Defence Minister of South Africa comes here in May for individual consultation. After your General Election we shall welcome any Minister of yours who could visit England for discussion.-Harcourt.
