EMPIRE DEFENCE
ATTITUDE OF DOMINIONS
COMMENT BY THE LONDON “TIMES.” POSITION IN NEW ZEALAND. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. LONDON. February 10. “The Times,” in a leading article, says the Dominions have been quick to realise in the prevailing conditions that the British Commonwealth must be strong to resist attack if it wishes to escape aggression. New Zealand has done much in the last three years and all for the good. Public opinion is in advance of the Government instead of lagging behind. There is a similar state in Australia, where the parties agreed on the need for sW.ift and extensive rearmament. Both New Zealand and Australia have the same differences of opinion as Britain over the merits of voluntary recruiting and compulsion. Everywhere there is a vigorous determination to prepare for an emergency which it is hoped Will not arise, but for which preparedness is the only effective deterrent.
