PEACE AND HUMANITY.
MELBOURNE. Julv 25.
A deputation representing the Peace and Humanity Society presented a resolution to the Premier against recent utterances indicating a determination on the part of some politicians to foist a standing army on Australia, and to involve the Commonwealth in the schemes and dangers of European militarum. Premier Barton assured the deputation that the Defence Bill did not contemplate militarism nor a standing army. Their reliance was placed on the courage and capacity of the citizens for the defence of the Australian Continent.
