GREAT EMPIRE PROBLEM
DIFFICULTY OF DEFENCE POLICY MR. BAVIN AT VANCOUVER (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) (United Service) VANCOUVER, Tuesday. The Premier of New South Wales, Mr. T. R. Bavin, addressed the Canadian Club at Vancouver this evening. He said the British Empire represented an effort to unite for common purposes races which were scattered all over the world and whose people were of different creeds, colours and traditions. It was an effort to combine two apparently inconsistent ideas —the idea of perfect individual liberty and that of a single Empire purpose for the good of the Empire and the world. “We who compose the nations of the Empire,” said Mr. Bavin, “can live a fuller, more effective, life as members of the Empire than we could if we were out of it. The problem common to the nations of the Empire is the necessity for a more efficient defence system with a more equitable division of the cost. “The formation of a real and effective Empire policy is one of our great needs. In order to promote the formulation of such a policy I suggest more frequent and effective consultations among representatives of the different parts of the Empire.”
