AUSTRALIAN NAVAL POLICY
AN EXTRAORDINARY SPEECH. THE VOICE OF A PROPHET. ; (Received 10.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. Mr. W. E. Johnson, a member of the House of Representatives, speaking to a Loyal Orange gathering, said they would have to carefully watch the naval policy of the Commonwealth, because, under a guise of creating an Australian navy, the party in power were striving to get the nucleus of a navy, which was not to act in conjunction with the British fleet.
Some of them would not say all they had in their minds-eye of the time when they would be able to turn the Australian fleet against the British fleet in Australian waters.
The sentiment was there, and the spirit was actively formed in quarters, to which the Orange Institutions were actively opposed.
