AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE.
AN EX-GOVERNOR'S VIEWS,
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Pbk Pbess Association.) LONDON, December 16. Addressing the annual meeting of the British Empire League at the Mansion House, Major-General the Hon. Sir Reginald Talbot, an ex-Governor of Victoria, remarked that it was a thousand pities if the growing feeling in favour of an Australian squadron was discouraged, since such provision would leave the Imperial Navy free to defend the Empire, unhampered by consideration of the local defence of Australia. A deep debt of gratitude was duo the Commonwealth -Parliament for the recognition of the principle that every able-bodied man should ciualify to defend his country.
