SEA POWER.
EMPIRE S ALL IN ALL.
DOMINION’S NEW GOVERNOR.
London, June 11,
The Colonial Institute annual dinner was largely attended. The Duke of Connaught wrote regretting his absence owing to a recent bereavement. Admiral Jeliicoe was the guest of honour. . . Ixird Selbome, proposing “Imperial Defence.” said that during 1918 the world’s fate had hung on a razor edge. Now, whether the League of Nations becomes an accomplished fact or not, the Empire must organise its defences. Lord Selhorne said that Lord Jeliicoe was eminently fitted to advise a solution of the naval aspect which must always remain the greatest aspect of our defence. They congratulated their fel'ow countrymen in New Zealand on their new Governor-General.
Admiral JeL-icoe was given an ovation on replying. He said they felt that they were going to a land and a people which they would love. He had found in the Dominions a great realisation of the fact that sea power was all in all to the Empire. He looked forward with great pleasure to his term in New Zealand. The pleasure was enhanced bv the fact that Sir T. Mackenzie. who had done so much for New Zealand., would shortly follow him there.—(A. and N.Z.)
