MR HALDANE’S SCHEME
United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received February 22, 8.20 a.m. London, February 21.
Mr Haldane, speaking at Newcastle, declared that Canada was easily able to add live or sis territorial divisions for her own defence and the assistance of the Empire. The Times says that in an emergency Australia might produce five, New Zealand one, and South Africa four or five divisions, which, aided by Britain’s fourteen second line divisions, and sixteen first lino divisions, would give the Empire the equivalent of twenty-three army corps. The Times adds that Germany has also twenty-three army corps.
