FEDERAL FORCES.
MILITARISTS SUPPORT HUGHES. MELBOURNE, .May 17. The official military view of the defence retrenchim-nt scheme is that the Government has framed its proposals wisely, and that the promise of peace in the Pacific has materially reduced the obligations of the Commonwealth Io build up an expensive military organisation. The Ministry has been guided by two facts, first, the prospect of at least 10 vears peace in the Pacific, and second, the imperative demand for eco nomv. The Ministry cut. its coat according to the cloth, and decided to abandon all appearances which might show an offensive, instead of a defensive, attitude.
