AUSTRALIA’S DEFENCE
DANGERS FROM ATTACK MAKE ARMY ESSENTIAL MILITARY MAN’S OPINION SYDNEY, Thursday. Iu tlie course of a report to the Federal Government by General Sir Harry Chauvel coincident with his retirement from the position of Chief of the General Military Staff, he says: “Australia is the most isolated and sparsely-populated portion of the Em pire, and therefore occupies a posi tion of very great danger in time of war. Sir Harry says he considers a revision of Australia’s defence policy 1 urgent, and adds: It is obvious that t.h3 provision of adequate naval forces is beyond the financial capacity of Australia, but she is so dependent on sea defence that it is equally obvious that she should contribute what she can toward it, having in view her primary responsibility for providing necessary land and air forces for her local defences.”
