BRITAIN’S NAVAL POLICY.

THE NORTH SEA OR THE PACIFIC WHICH IS THE DANCER ZONE? Press Association.—Telegraph.—Copyright. Received March 20, 9 a.m. LONDON, March 19. The Times says that Australia’s fear of Japan is more reasonable than Britain’s fear of Germany, yet Britain in her egoism of fear has concentrated her ships in the North Sea. Sir E. Grey and the Right Hon. R. McKenna are wholly absorbed in Britain’s possible danger. If Japan forced her policy upon Australia and the United States on Canada , the margin would be so fine that Britain would be unable to interfere. Admiral Henderson’s report shows that_ Australia’s preparation for defence is rather leisurely, but progress of events is likely to quicken it.
