NAVAL SUPREMACY.
THE ALPHA , AND OMEGA. London, June 14. The Westminster Gazette says that the one decisive answer to Sir Joseph Ward's fears of disintegration unless closer unity in governing institutions is effected is that as long as Britain is strong enough at sea to prevent an enemy attacking the Dominions no such questions will arise; therefore, the question of the navy is the alpha and omega of British policy. The Pall Mall Gazette strongly supports Sir Joseph Ward's contention that if there is no closer Council of Empire than a gathering of Premiers once in four years the outlook for Imperial unity is grave and clouded. It adds that Sir Joseph Ward declines to believe that the Empire can shuffle along with nothing but sentimental ties, and still maintain unity under concrete ordeals.
