BRITAIN'S STRENGTH.
CHURCHMAN URGES DEFENCE. LONDON, June 13. • . . If Britain and the Empire ceased w> defend themselves they would be exposed to very great danger, because w the prevalent unrest," writes the jMshop of Gloucester, Dr. Arthur Head'Ma, in his diocesan magazine, in explaining why he frequently declines to Preside at peace meetings. He -writes: "I do everything possible «> promote world peace, but I am unable t0 preside unless I am permitted to emphasise points illustrating the dangerous aspects of peace movements. ™irst of all, disarmament must be reciprocal. ■■ Secondly, the Empire is Most vulnerable without sea power, therefore we ought to be supreme on the 3eas. i Thirdly, it is only the British fleet'that prevents a revival of piracy, fourthly, only the uncertainty of the issue prevents Eussia from attempting l P extend Sovi'etism, which would destroy civilisation. Finally, if we seek peace w e must be strong and just. Nothing °an he accomplished without power."
