« ) UNIFORMITY OF NAVAL POLICY. j THE PACIFIC PROBLEM. (By Telegraph. - -Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Austialien and N.Z. Cable Association.) MELBOURNE, June 26. i Speaking at the Empire League luncheon, Rear-Admiral Clarkson emphasised the need for Empire uniformity in naval defence. H? strongly urged that the League should endeavour to bring about a dominions' co- ; ordination, in order that the Pacific and \ Indian Oceans and Australia and New Zea- I land should have adequate naval defence. I He said it was unreasonable to cxjKict i (Australia to assume the defence with her I i navy without the help of the other do- j I minions, j j General Sir John Monash declared that : the Empire niu-r have only one Navy- and I one Army. Each dominion niu-t bear its ; own share of the burden. The League of I Nations was not going to present war, and j it was necessary to be equipped. Had the! Australians at Gallipoli had one-tenth (he ! ■ equipment of his command in France they j would have made short work of Turkey and 1 been in Constantinople in a month. He : hoped the pending proposals would provide jin the future an Australian army that | would bo adequately equipped.
