Baring Square Society Debates New Zealand Navy
The Baring Square Young Men's Literary and Debating Society held a well attended meeting last evening presided by Mr W. H. Higging. The debate argued whether New Zealand should have a navy of its own. The affirmative, Messrs C Thomas and D Wilkie, faced the negative, Messrs BR Jones and H Woolf. The meeting favored the negative side, deeming a toy navy unnecessary and too costly while the discussion remained engaging. The chair was thanked at the close.
