Q. How many fleets has the British Empire? 71. One.

May at the several member of the Empire vead local squadrons for lost defence? .There is no local defence at sea. Ships are ships, and forts are forts, and there is no worse waste than to make a good ship do duty as a middling fort.

Q. What is the business of the Navy in time of peace?

A. The police of the seas and the prerontion of war.

Q. How is it to prevent war?

. By manifest strength showing all likely enemies that war is unprofitable for them.

What strength is enough for that purpose!

4. Ous great r than that of any hostile com- bination reasonably to be apprehended.

Q. Can we not fortify ourselves by alliances ? A: Yes, to confirm our strength but not to aid our weakness. Alliances are safe and honour- able only between equals. A weak Fower that goes about to seek allies at need will find none, or find master.

Q. What would be the Navy's business in time of war?

A. To seek out und destroy or blockade hostile festa.

A. That of all good citizens

Q. Can we not leave this matter to those who are specially charged with it P

A. Experiencs shows that we cannot safely

Q. Can you assign any causes for this?

. There are several; but it is enough to name the most certain and honourable. The Ministers of a free, country can neither commence nor continue any great undertaking without being assured of public'apport.

Q. What do our citizens need for the discharge of their public duty with regard to national defence P

A. Constant zeal amil vigilance informed by adequate knowledge.

Q. Do these qualities abound of themselves, or must they be fostered?

i

. Certainly they must be fostered.

Q. How do you propose to contribute to that end?

I shall still use my best endeavours towards it as a member of the Navy League.

With reference to the above a correspondent writes:-

What then about the Australian navy which Sir E. Barton, the Federal Premier, says will soon be established in cooperation with the Impérial doet? Does the Nary League dis approve of this because it is for "local" defence ? And how is the second sentence of the above auswer applicable to the situation?

A. By our naval command of the soa. 2. If our fleet were defeated, and lost and of the sea, what would be the result?...

A. Our supplies of food from beyond sea would be cut off.

Q. And we should be exposed to invasion? 1. The enemy would not want to invade us. Q. Why not

4. For the same reason that the Germans did not want to ake Paris by assault in 1871.

Yon mean it would be safer und cheaper to starve us out?

A. Exactly so.

Q. Then we should not even bave the honour of a last fight on lend?
