DEFENCE ISSUE
DOMINIONS' PART
SERIOUS POSITION IN TIME
OF WAR
LONDON, May 19.
The contribution the Dominions are capable of making to Imperial defence is emphasised by the diplomatic correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph." He says that though the Australian Prime JVHnister came out boldly for a consistent and unified Empire policy, it is doubtful whether any other Dominion could go so far owing to. internal public opinion. . He continues that the co-ordination of the conclusions of the Imperial Conference will.be.of the greatest practical value. The Dominions are experiencing great difficulty in obtaining armaments from Britain, owing to the industry being occupied in fulfilling the British programme. "It is a grave position at present, but it might be infinitely more serious in time of war," the correspondent continues. "The development,of munition factories similar to those being established in Australia may do more than make each Dominion independent of supplies from the United Kingdom. It might prove a valuable source of supply for Britain."
