COLONIAL NAVAL CONTRIBUTIONS
FAVOURING AN AUSTRALIAN NAVY. Prtss Association—By Telegraph-Copyright. SYDNF.Y, February 27. (Received Feb. 27, at- 10.40 a.m.) Referring to the proposed naval contribution, the Daily Telegraph says that if we participate in the responsibilities of Imperial naval defence we shall ultimately have to be on the same footing .ns the taxpayers of the Tinted Kingdom, and will therefore require some voice in the control of the institution. One other alternative is the creation of an Australian navy, maintained on the same basis as we maintain our army. This would leave the Commonwealth free from that state of vassalage which, in regard to the navy, it now occupies, and in which if increased by a tribute we would be further sunk. A navv provided by our own taxpayers, controlled by our own Parliament, and manned by our own sailors, would be of much more ettective service to the Empire than any gift of money such as might, within the bound; of reason, ho accented.
