THE EMPIRE NAVY.
DOMINIONS MUST SHARE BURDEN. London, Feb. 5. The “Daily Telegraph.” in a leader on Lord Jeflicoe’s 55,000 miles tour, says the corollary of New Zealand Imperial partnership is 'that the people of the United Kingdom can no longer be regarded as solely responsible for the upkeep of the naval forces of the Empire, since the Empire wants a fleet in place of the insular navy which served Britain so well. It is good that the Dominions themselves should have issued the invitation to Lord Jellicoe. The Admiralty cannot well determine the Suture police until it is known to what extent the Dominions are prepared to share the common burden. Lord Jellicoe cleared the way for action in this new state of Imperial co-operation.
