AUSTRALIA’S PROBLEM.
Even when she gets the local navy which Mr. Deakin and Mr. Fisher de : sires to see her get her theory of defence will still be based as much as our own upon the assumption that Britain’s naval supremacy is maintained beyond the possibility of challenge. Australia, therefore,, cannot detach herself any more than New Zealand from her dependence upon and her obligations to the British Navy. Of course it does not follow that the spasmodic gift of a battleship to meet o. supposed emergency is the best way in wlmcli tlie colonies can help a cause, which is as much theirs as the Mother Country s, but it is surely incumbent upon them all, whether they aspire to a local nayy or not, to consider at a time li'ke tins whether they are putting all that thev should into a common pool.—Wellington “Post.” ;
