THE DEFENCE CUT.
THE PEACEFUL PACIFIC. Press Assn. —By Tel. —Copyright. Melbourne, This Day. The official military view of thhe defence retrenchment scheme is that the Government has framed its proposals wisely, and that the promise of peg.ee in the Pacific has materially reduced the obligations of the Commonwealth to build up expensive military organisation. The military authorities have been guided by two facts: first, the prospect of at least ten years’ peace in the Pacific; and second, the imperative demand for economy. The Ministry cut its coat according to the cloth, and decided to abandon all appearances which might show an offensive, instead of a defensive, attitude.
