BEATTY ON SEA POWSE.
:
LONDON, June 8. Admiral Beatty, speaking at the Western Australian dinner, emphasised that in future naval co-operation with the Dominions must form an integral part of naval defence. He trusted that the individual members of the empire would abandon parochial views and regard the problem of seapower as a whole, recognising that if disaster befell one mit, the entire empire must be affected. The maintenance of sea-power meant assurance for the future. The cost thereof should be borne in proportion to population and commitments.

Britain alone needs six million tons of imported wheat and will be lucky if she gets a million and a half. Severe night frosts have made havoc of the crops in some of the southern counties.
