McKonna's speech at Ponfypooi. wherein tho First Lord of the Admiralty.' announced I hat perfect agreement had been come to between the Mother Land and tho Dominions on the Navy.

The Times recalls that Lord Nelson,■ after'the battle of the Nile, said: "I had the happiness lo command a band of brothers," The danger that Australiaand Canada may lose sight of this idealwijl bo averted if the policy announced'' by Mr McKeima is steadfastly carried-; out. If the officers and men of (-lieoverseas fleets are encouraged to qualifv in proportion to the parent, navy, one, of the worst, evils arising from the development of the Dominions' fleets will'-; be- nipped in the bud.
