DEFENCE OF THE EMPIRE.
GUARDIANS OF THE PACIFIC. Sydney, January 28. Mr. Pearce, Federal Defence Minister, speaking at the Government dockyard employees’ picnic, said: “We do not intend to allow the question of naval development to rest where it is. We are only on the fringe of that big future which is apparent to anyone who looks ahead. We are the predominating white race in the South Pacific. Including New Zealand, we are the only white race. If the whites are to play any part in the history of the Pacific, that part must be played by Australasians. That is a tremendous responsibility, but I believe Australasia will be capable of rising thereto, fulfilling her destiny.” HOME RULE. London, January 28. The Home Rule debate is lifeless. The Duke of Devonshire moved the rejection of the Bill.
