IMPERIAL DEFENCE.
NATIONAL ARMAMENTS, WHO SHOULD CONTROL THEM. United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph Copyright. Received April 22, 9.40 p.m. LONDON, April 22. The "Time 3" says the principle that national- armaments must be at the disposal of the Parliaments I building and maintaining then is a j fundamental condition of all co-oper-j atio» in Imperial defence. But Sir J Wilfrid Lauriei's argument tends to i obscure the fact that although compulsion to take part in Imperial wars cannot come from within it may from without. If the Empire be at war Canada is at war, though it does not participate in actual hostilities. It is true Canada had no direct interest in the Crimean War, but Russia would not have considered herself debarred from raiding the Canadian coasts. These actual responsibilities are involved in any system of Imperial partnership, They were directly recognised by Mr Fisher on behalf of Australia.
