AUSTRALIA'S NAVY.
CRUISER SYDNEY LAUNCHED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. —Copyright London Thursday. The Australian cruiser Sydney was launched to-day.
Captain Collins, secretary to the Australian High Commissioner's office, in the course of a speech at the launching, said that in co-ordination and consolidation of the naval resources lay the chief means of preserving the Empire, but these would not suffice without military co-ordina-tion. In this respect Australia was setting an example.
Admiral Reginald Henderson replying to the toast of his wife's health, compared the defensive policies of various Dominions.
New Zealand's, he said, was a policy of opportunism while Australia's was best for the Empire and for the preservation of the autonomy of its parts.
