Dominions And Defence
“Some people in al parts of the Empire, whose opinions are entitled to respect, are dissatisfied at tho absence of military commitments,” said Sir Maurice Hankley in a broadcast talk on the “Dominions and Rearmament." “In theory, it is true that a definite obligation with a military treaty appears more satisfactory than the independent system I have described. In practice this is more doubtful. The waging of war under modern conditions involves a national effort an a scale that can only be ipade with the support of an overwhelming popular opinion on the particular issue. On a doubtful issue that might not be forthcoming in any event.”
