IMPERIAL DEFENCE. RUDE AND UNWELCOME SHOCK
LORD ROBERTS'S MOTION. VARIOUS OPINIONS. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. LONDON, 25th November. Referring to the motion by Lord Roberts in the House of Lords to the effect that the defence of the country necessitates provision of an army sufficient to make the most formidable nation hesitate about invading Britain, and the desirableness of a Government statement on the invasion problem, the Vienna correspondent of The Times says the adoption of the motion by the House of Lords has given a rude and unwelcome shock to the assumption hitherto prevalent in Vienna that Britain would never earnestly aim at military, equally with naval, efficiency. Canadian newspapers are astonished at Lord Roberts's frankness, while 'the American press considers it ill-advised. Conservative papers- in Berlin raise a note of alarm to the effect that they, «uspedt Britain's ultimate intentions. Semi-official journals, however, seek to allay disquietude by emphasising the statement that the question is purely one of domestic concern to Britain.
