The Manawatu Herald. Thursday, December 5, 19 12 . NOTES AND COMMENTS.
That the European position is in the nature of a crisis is shown by a leading article in the Eondou Times of November 26. The article says:—“Firmly as we trust that peace will be main tained, the moment has come in European affairs when every nation with interests and friendships to preserve must look to its resources and strike to appraise their worth. Is British power still adequate to hold its great position and guard its heritage ? We believe that it is. We are ready, in our own eyes, to meet the emergencies of the moment in any form that they make lake. And we know that as a people we do not stand alone. The action of the overseas Dominions in the South African, war was a signal to the world that in any great emergency our self-governing Empire is one. Every great Dominion is undertaking the creation of a fresh centre of naval power. Their growing strength is our strength, as ours has always been theirs. As a material factor that movement already means much. As a moral factor its value is inestimable.’'
