DEFENCE OF THE EMPIRE.
SHAKING THE BURDEN. HINT BY MR. LLOYD GEORGE. NEED FOR CO-ORDINATION. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received 11.30 p.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON. Feb. 15. Mr. Lloyd George, replying to an amendment to the Ad dress-in-Reply to the King's Speech, urging co-ordination of the Navy, Army and Air Force, admitted the necessity of co-ordination, but, he said, there should be co-ordination between the various parts of the Empire; also, the defence of the Empire should be an Imperial concern. "It is too much," he added, " to ask these small islands to undertake the defence of a gigantic Empire on every sea. The whole problem would be brought before the meeting of the Prime Ministers of the Empire. The knowledge that the Empire stood together would be the best guarantee against the shedding of blood."
