Mr Archibald Colquihoun read an interesting paper at the United Service Institution on “Sea Power in the Pacific.” General Edward Chatman, during the discussion, said that India, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa were endangered by Britain’s failing to adopt a suitable defence scheme in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. Lord Charles Beresford declared that the Pacific station should be reinforced immediately. The future was gloomy because Britain was not grappling with the problems which might, place the Empire in jeopardy. Admiral Edmund Ftemantle said they must look to the Pacific for future naval developments.. It was a fatal policy to withdraw ships fram distant stations.
