MUST BE PAST OF IMPERIAL SERVICE.
SPEECH BY ADMIRAL POOB.E. (Received 12.20 p.m.) SYDNEY, this day. At the Chamber of Commerce banquet, Admiral Sir Richard Poore, replying to the toast of his health, referred to the Australian navy. It was, he said, a difficult subject for him to speak about. Australia had decided with the Imperial Government on one principle, and New Zealand on another. As Commander-in-Chief, he had to do the best he could. All he could say was that both were right. In establishing an Australian navy the fact should be clearly recognised that it must exist as part of the whole service. No portion of tue navy must consider its duty to exist only in the country where it had its base. The navy could only exist under one supreme head, otherwise it would repeat the fable of .the bundle of sticks—together they could be- neither bent nor broken; separate each one might be broken.
