EMPIRE DEFENCE.
! SMALL BRITISH ARMY, i NAVY MUST BE SUPREME. By Telegraph.—Press Aun Copyright. Received May 21, 7.35 p.m. London, May 20. Mr. Winston Churchill (Secretary for War), speaking at the opening of a military tournament, said that now we had again the broad sunlight of a victorious peace we had to maintain on the scale of the army before the war a small defensive army for Imperial police duty, to keep alive those traditions which generations hence might be the means of enabling our various communities, usually unprepared, to escape disaster.
The navy, he said, must always remain on a mobilised scale. The navy had always been, and always must be, strong enough, whatever happened, to enable ail other deficiencies to be repaired.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
