AUSTRALIA'S ATTITUDE. COLONEL FOXTOX INTERVIEWED IX LONDON. By Cable.—Press Association. —Copyright Received 25, 5.6 p.m. London, July 24. Colonel Foxton, Commonwealth delegate to the Defence Conference, interviewed in reference to the Conference, P> "*V, said it was pretty certain that Australia would adopt compulsory training for youths up to 18 and perhaps 21 years and afterwards possible to a mature age. The latter step would depend upon the experience of the senior cadet sys- * tern. Australia hoped for an interchange of officers and men in respect to the navy. The offer of a Dreadnought, or some alternative, -was made unconditionally. He was not prepared to say what the alternative would be, but, he said, "We desire to contribute in kind for the maintenance of naval supremacy, irrespective of our measures for the defence of Australia' and the trade routes."
