SIR HENRY NORMAN INTERVIEWED.
Kceci ml Xoremhcr 16,11.20 a.m. Sydney, November IC. Sir Henry Norman, late Governor of Queensland, interviewed, said lie thought it was desirablo to lmve a combined land force for Australia. As far as openness to attack was concerned, Australia bad always been more or less liable, but her ■ safety was in the power of the British Navy. Whilst they had that safe-guard they were tolerably free; but without it, any llrst-class power who cared to come along would be in a position to take the country. The whole matter was summed uf in the strong protecting sea power, and with England's supremacy on the seas, Australia ought to feel secure.
