COLONIAL COASTAL NAVIES.
A CONDEMNATION. ' Received May 17, 7.14 a.m. SYDNEY, May 16. Mr J. H. Carruthers, State Premier, interviewed on the Federal proposal for a separate navy, said he was not at all in favour of it. "The protection of Australia," says Mr Carruthers, "consists in the fact that we are a dependency of the Empire with the greatest naval force in the world, and we know that whatever is done here is part of the general scheme of Imperial naval defence. But we propose to set that all aside, and to start on our own, contrary to the advice of those who have forgotten more than we ever learned. "The whole thing is a sop to a section of the community that, if not openly, is covertly disloyal to the English supremacy," THE SQUADRON. RETENTION IN THE INTERIM. Received May 17, 8.27 a.m. LONDON, May 16. Sir William Lyne, in an interview, stated that until Australia's coastal fleet is a reality it would be better that the Admiralty should maintain the existing squadron in Australian waters.
