AI'STM ALTA AXD HOME DIOFKXCJi. [BV ELECTRIC TELEGUAI'H—COPYRIOIIT.J [.I'Kll PHEBS ASSOCIATION.] (Received This Day, 9..30 <1.111.) LONDON', April 20. Sir George Re id, speaking at liirmingham upon the manufacture of rill-s l-:ir Australian cadets ami the building of destroyers and a Dreadnought, said this was a proof that, whilst statesmen were busy professing peace. great nations were practically in a .state of war. One danger of wist armaments was that, in a mad moment the whole destinies of the human race nii'-cht depend upon the odious arbitrament of brnto force. Australia was light in making tremendous preparations for danger that might never come, for, if once the British navy w<is destroyed, her enemies would never allow it to be re-built.
