THE NAY! QUESTION IN ? AUSTRALIA. 7
COLONIAL NAVY ADVOCATED. oh h Received February 27, 1030 a.m. ii Sydney, February 27. ' B Referring to the naval contribution, J3 the Daily Telegraph says that if the d Federal Government participate in the v responsibilities of Imperial naval 2 defence, they will ultimately have I to be on the same looting as taxpayers 5 in the United Kingdom, and will require some voice in the control of a the institution. There is one r alternative, that is the creation 2 of an Australian navy, maintained on i the same basis as they maintained their 5 own army. This would lift the Commonwealth from a state of vassalage ° which, as regards the navy, it now occupies, and into which it would by an increased tribute be further sunk. A navy provided by its own taxpayers, controlled by its own Parliament, and manned by its own sailors, would be g much more effective in the service of fj the Empire than any gift of money q such as might within the bounds of v reason be accepted. .
