THE AUSTRALIAN NAVY.
A WORD OF PRAISE. Ey Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. (Received March 13, 9 a.m.) LONDON, March 12. The Spectator comments on Mr. M'Konna’s memorandum, and remarks that the generosity and patriotism of the people of the Commonwealth will be recognised throughout the Empire. The possession of its own fleet and the provision for its maintenance by Australia will greatly stimulate the interest in sea power in the island continent. That is very necessary, for no part of the Empire is more deeply concerned in the maintenance of our common sea power. [ln bis memorandum attached to the Navy Estimates Mr. M‘Kerma recorded the Australian decision not to ask for an Imperial contribution, to tho Australian navy, and stated that the Admiralty had conveyed an expression of cordial thanks to the Commonwealth for the additional relief this had given to the naval votes.]
