COMPULSORY TRAINING.
SIR W. HALL JONES INTERVIEW-
(Received Wednesday, at 5)..'10 a.m.) FREMANTLE, Wednesday.
Sir William Hall-Jones, interviewed, said it was good news to hear that Australia will lay down another Dreadnought. With New Zealand and Australia doing their share in Imperial defence, with Canada and South Africa coming into line, and the possibility of India doing her share, and if Britain adopts some system of universal training, the Empire will be practically inviolable. We should prove ourselves irresistible in attacks and invulnerable in defence.
Sir William Hall- J ones was emphatic that compulsory training in Britain must come. It was only a question whether they would wait till trouble occurred, or insist on having it before it was too late.
