Sir,—Your correspondent A. D. McKinlay sums up the matter fairly .well, but I see no mention,o£ submarines as a yveapon of defence. It is obvious that in an invasion it would be the chief cities which would receive first attention, and m protection from •• foreign warships the best we could do would be to have two submarine bases in each Island. Personally I think attack would first-come by air. The successful flight of the Italian'squadron to America shows this to be a real danger. The sooner we start to prepare for defence by air the better; also training with anti-aircraft guns which could be placed at the best points round the cities. The money spent on the Territorial system is.certainly an absolute waste, and would be better employed in following the above suggestions.—l am, etc., ?,■'..' ■ j BE PEEPARED.
