MACHINE-GUN BATTALIONS
MILITARY EXPERT’S PROPOSAL WOULD HELP BRITAIN By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, November 23. Tlie “Daily Telegraph’s’’ military expert, commenting on tho Dominion delegates’ interest in the six-wheeled motors convertible to caterpillar traction, seen at Camberley, says: “Many times Australia’s sixty-two battalions of a citizen force of infantry would be utterly inadequate to defend the Australian Continent, but sixty-two battalions of machine-guns in cross-country carriers would bo capable of such rapid concentration and movement that no invading armv of infantry or cavalry could hope to make effective headway. “By encouraging their use for commercial purposes, for which they are most economical, the Dominions would help the British motor industry, and while facilitating tile mcclianilisation of both armies, it would bo a valuable line of truo Imperial co-operation.”
