AUSTRALIA AND THE EMPIRE.
. V SYDNEY, August 2. Tho "Sydney Morning Herald" says: "If England becomes involved in war we may rest assured that she will be fighting in the cause of peace. Wo know that if she is committed it will no. b.j till peace has been sought by every means consistent with the national honour. In this, the gravest crisis which has faced the British people since we first became members of a world-wide Empire, there is no doubt what message Australia will send; The whole people of this Continent are united in their determination to support the Empire to the utmost limits'of their resources"' In another place the paper declares: "If the British Government requires military assistance there will be not the slightest hesitation in equipping and despatching an expeditionary force."
Mr Cook, the Federal Prime Minister, says that the Australian Navy is ready and at the disposal of the Empire.
