DEFENCE OF THE PACIFIC.
(I'lated Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, April 12. Sir George Reid states that Admiral Patey told him that he was more than pleased with the battleship Australia, and the seamen, of Avhom he spoke in the highest terms. Six George Reid added that their readiness to serve, and their obedience to discipline, should silence their British detractors. The position in the Far East was unsatisfactory, and the time must come when India must help to maintain the fleet in the Pacific, and Canada must do the same, though her position differed in several respects from Australia's.
