Australia, paid a tribute to the King’s warm interest in the Australian Navy. He thanked the Admiralty for co-operating and making the navy a success. “Australia,” he said, “is building a navy not because we are colonials, but because we are Britishers, and are responding to the call of the sea. Oui object is self-defence and prese’ \ atiou, not destruction.” Admiral Patey declared that the King, in honoring him, honored the Australian Navy.
