BRITISH POLITICS.
NAVAL DEFENCE. Received August 1, 9 a.m. LONDON, July 13. In the House of Lords, Lord Brassy complained that the reasonable demands'of the colonies for the loan of vessels suitable for training seaman had not been granted. The Motherland ought supply large cruisers and ocean destroyers for the protection of Australian trade. Lord Tweedmouth denied that colonial interests were being neglected. A well-manned Australian flotilla of destroyers and submarines would be a very substantial defence against casual raids, and also of the greatest assistance to the British fleet in the event of war. Personally, he did not believe in sending odd cruisers to odd places all over the world. The essence of the modern policy was fleet concentration.
