BRITAIN AND DOMINIONS.
CO-OPERATION IN DEFENCE. RESULT OF COMMON OUTLOOK. (Official wireless.) (Received Feb. 23, 1 p.m.) RUGBY, Feb. 22. The Prime Minister was questioned in the House of Commons on Sir Samuel Hoare's speech at Bradford on February 5 regarding Dominion cooperation in Imperial defence. Mr Baldwin said:—
“The First Lord of the Admiralty made no new statement of policy. While explaining that the chief burdens of the defence expenditure falls on Britain the First. Lord once again declared that it would be a great mistake to impose some' 1 rigid plan on other members of the Empire.
“Similarly, as to economic questions, he made it clear that any agreement that had been or might be reached must result from a common outlook and the spontaneous desire for co-operation.”
