Should danger to our security arise in the future, this purely de- fensive power at sea cannot be im. provised without some previous years of constructive work, parti- cularly in cruiser building, the cost of which is comparatively small in

comparison with that of the huge and costly battleships of recent con- struction which may surely be by all nations, proportionately reduced

in size and numbers, to the saving of enormous cost to all the Powers. There appears a universal tendency in thought to this wise course:

Notes on Security of Empire: An efficient Navy is to the British Empire as the foundation-stone of a building, or the key-stone of a bridge, the removal of which means the collapse of the whole edifice. No treaties or political devices can take the place of power at sea and can so effectively make for peace. Our Empire is alone among the na- tione a purely maritime Empire, of which the United Kingdom ...... · Is the heart and centre and ~ sex- All other nations · are more or less self-contained and supplied overland.
