BRITAIN IN THE PACIFIC
AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION. THE COLONIES ENDANGERED. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 0, 0.30 p.m. London, April C. Mr. Archibald Colquhomi, F.R.G.S., read an interesting paper at the United Service Institution on sea power in the Pacific. General Edward Chapman, during the discussion, said that* India, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa were endangered by Britain's failing to adopt a suitable defence scheme in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Lord Charles Beresford declared the Pacific station should be reinforced immediately. The future was gloomy because Britain was not grappling with problems which might place the Empire in jeopardy. Admiral Edmund Fremantle said they must look to the Pacific for future naval developments. It was a fatal policy to withdraw ships from distant stations.
