THE NAVY PROBLEM.
AN EMPIRE OUTLOOK. Press Aesn—By Telegraph—Copyright Received 10.20 p.m. London, March 19. In a discussion at the Colonial Institute on Viscount Hytlie's paper on Imperial defence, the Hon. W. A. Holman (Attorney-General for New South Wales) justified the policy directing the Australian navy and said he hoped it was the forerunner of a Pacific fleet.
Lord Selborne, who presided, said that when different parts of the Empire realised the existence of a common purpose justifying common action they would find the requisite organisation. He advised the Motherland not to attempt to set a pace beyond the rate at which the dominions were prepared to go.
HON. JAMES ALLEN'S VIEWS
"THE DAY MUST COME."
Received 10.30 p. m. London, March 19.
The Hon. James Allen (!New Zealand Defence Minister), addressing tne Colonial Institute, said Australia had nothing in ner mind except Imperialism. She was wise enough to know that she was powerless without the help of the Motherland. No dominion was entitled to ask for a voice in the councils of the Empire until she had progressed in her own development.
But the day must come when the Dominions must be admitted to England's executive council.
The sooner this day came the sooner would Imperial preference be reached.
