ROAD TO INDIA.
"England decides quickly, and she does not hesitate to make changes. Portsmouth, Plymouth, Chatham, exceUenfc naval bases until 1916, were abandoned as soon aS suhmarine warfare began. Then Rosyth, Alilford Haven and Scapa FloW, in northem Scotland toOk their place," writes M, Paul Morand, Prencli diplomat, in "The Road to India." "To-day, when England is threatened by air attacks, the problem has already been studied and decisiols have been made. While we (Prance) are asking ourselves whether our aeroplane workshops shall be moved to Chartres or to Mons; our British neighbours are preparing to move their war industries to India, to South Africa, or better still to Newfoundland, where fogs 'will protecfc them from enemy aircraft. The new eommittee for the co-ordination of war problemS set up by the great Committee for the Defence of the Empire . . . an instrument of Vigilance, is unhampered by considerations of distance or of expense. The protection of the road to India is fflore /ar-reachiBg than this road itself ; the safety of this road will be assured by nels laid at the Hcbrides as well as by cemented domes at tbe Cape of Clood Hope."
