IMPERIAL DEFENCE.
CO-OPERATION IN DEFENCE MATTERS APPROVED. ißeceived November 24, 4.50 p.m. LONDON, November 23. Colonle Seely, presiding at the annual dinner of the Imperial Federation* of Defence Committee, urged •the reconstruction of the committee :and tbe adding of representatives of iboth political partes aml the colonies. General Button regarded Mr R. L. Haldane's and Loid Iweedmouths adoption of the principle of co-oper-ation in matters of defence as highly ilmoortaiit. . ' Hir Gilbert Parker, Conservative member for Gravesend, said he thought more practical work had been accomplished at the Colonial Confeience on the military than the naval side. Colonial naval defence ought to be proportionate to the growing wealth of a colony. Mr Harold Cox, Liberal member for Preston, said that the colonies and the Motherland ought to make a fair bargain. It was, unfair, he considered, to leave the whole burden to the Motherland.
