SIR WILLIAM HALL-JONES.
INTERVIEW ON IMPERIAL DEFENCE. By Telegraph— Press Association. OtpyricrlH Received this day, 9.30 a.m. Fremantle, This Day. The Hon. W. Hall-Jones, in an interview, stated that it was good news to him to hear that Australia was intending to lay down another Dreadnought. He considered that, with Australia and New Zealand doing their share towards Imperial defence, and the possibility of Canada and South Africa coming into line, also India, if Britain adopted some system of universal training, the Empire would be practically inviolable and should prove to be irresistable in attack and invulnerable in defence. He was very emphatic on the question of compulsory training in Britain, stating that it must come, the only question, to his mind, being whether they waited until trouble came, or insisted upon having compulsory service before it was too late.
