EMPIRE AT WAR
SPIRIT OF DOMINIONS PRAISED i DEFENCE & EXPEDITIONARY FORCES. MAN-POWER AND SUPPLIES. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, September 24. “The Times,” in a leader extolling the rally of the Dominions, cites the New Zealand spirit as being reflected in every other part of the Empire. It adds that it is in the air that the Dominions can immediately be most useful.
The Dominions, specially Australia and New Zealand, must make certain that they will not be attacked before denuding themselves of trained defenders, but it is safe to forecast that wherever a decisive conflict is fought, Dominion forces will play the same distinguished part as they did 25 years ago. . . Success depends almost as much on supplies as on man-power, and here the Dominions are well to the fore. Their unanimity is a guarantee for victory. The Dominions Secretary, Mr Eden, has sent this message to the Prime Minister of Australia: “The High Commissioner has communicated to us the terms of the announcement by you in the Commonwealth Parliament on September 20 as to. the offer by Australia of an expeditionary force. I should like to assure you, on behalf of the British Government, that this most generous offer is deeply appreciated here."
