AN OBJECT LESSON TO AUSTRA-
LASIA,
• Received: August 23; 4.30 p.m..-. ■'■..-. ; : :: .. LONDON,, August 22 :Tho "Daily Telegraph, commenting on the total absence of European- battleships in. the, Pacific;...says Admiral Spefry's-ships are an object le3son to Australians j n . the cost of battleships1. Australia's naval interests, at any. r^to for the present, can bo best secured by a generous contribution to the. maintenance of tlio British Navy, whidi 13 powerful enougbvto protect her, even though no British battleships aro seen in an Australian port. Moreover, .we have no right to doubt that the thorny Asiatic question can be settled on perfectly honourable terms. The great fleets on both sides of the Paciflc"aad the leagues of ocean separating, almost as good as impose a reasonable ~temper on those in authority.,': President Roceovelt's reference to a cruiso of peaxje and Justice has the same meaning as Mr Deakin's happy phrase, 'harbingers of arbitration." Tlio battleships will perform the latter duty/when- they reach Japanese waters and find - the magnificence of the wel.oprao far -exceeding their expectations.
