IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.
.When the Empire is soundly organised for defence —as it should be very speedily—when every British State is taking active and equitable part in building, maintaining and manning the Imperial Navy, and when every British State . is efficiently trained and armed for its own local defence, and for mutual protection, we shall find that the German ambition for a great navy and the German dream of aggrandisement at our expense have vanished together. A world-wide Empire such as ours, says the New Zealand Herald, with free States numbering 60,000,000 people and colonial territory capable of supporting many times that number, cannot be injured by any European nation, jf only we have common sense enough to organise for the maintenance of the Imperial peace.
