IMPERIAL DEFENCE.
THE COLONIAL SCHEMES.
UNOFFICIAL STATEMENTS..
By Telegraph.— Association.—
London, August 19. The Daily Telegraph, without mentioning Sir Joseph Ward's alleged arrangement with the Admiralty, with respect to cruisers, an apparently inspired account of which was circulated through Reuter's Agency, remarks that Australia and Canada are definitely committed to the creation of local fleets. The Times emphasies that the statements heretofore, or which may hereafter be made, on unofficial authority, regarding the results of the Defence Conference, must be accepted with due reserve, and cannot profitably be made the subject of detailed comment. Other newspapers are silent, evidently awaiting authoritative official information. (Received August 20, 11 p.m.) London, August 20. The last plenary sitting of the Defence Conference was held yesterday. Mr. Asquith congratulated the delegates on the result of their work. Other Cabinet Ministers were present.
It is stated that the results of the Defence Conference will be announced in Parliament at an early date.
