NAVAL DEFANCE.
AN ADMIRAL ON TIE SUBJECT. THE COLONIES AD THE PAFIFIC. SYDXh', July 1. Admiral Fanshawe, ofthe Australian Squadron, speaking at a dinner given by the Chamber t Commerce m reply to tlve toast of The Navy," said that to crry out the well-tried policy of the' forefathers it was necessary that th naval Istratcgy of the Empire shold be concentrated in one centri authority. That central authority sould not b-e hampered or hindered inxny possible way by local conditions n any part of the Empire. He felt lost strongs ly the absolute necessit for the commanders of their (lets, squadrons, and single ships eing perfectly free to be in goes time in commencing a movementin case of war. Australia and Nw Zealand had wisely acquiesced inthis view, in adopting the navai ageeanent now in force, under which th place of colonial seamen would je at the front, wherever that fron might be. That would probably b( somewhere in the eastern seas. Wl», he asked, could say that the quesion of the future mastery of the Partic was not a matter of the first conem to Australia and New Zealand ?
