AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE.  

The Torpedo Boat Flotilla.  

“We in Australia have grown, and  

still rest under the shelter of the British  

flag. do not think that we can be  

content to sit still under the shelter of  

that flag without contributing our own  

share to the necessary task of its de-  

fence.”—Alfred Deakin.  

One of the most potent arguments  

used by the worker in Britain against  

being taxed to grant preference to  

the primary producer of Australia, is  

the statement that he pays thirty shil-  

lings per annum for the maintenance  

of the navy and army, whilst his Aus-  

tralian kinsman contributes five shil-  

lings per year for the same purpose.  

If the Australian paid as much as  

the British workman towards defence,  

the annual Commonwealth naval and  

military vote would amount to six  

times its present proportions, or over  

£6,000,000.  

At present the annual defence vote  

for Australia approaches £1,000,000.  

Of that sum £200,000 is appropriated  

for the payment of the subsidy to the  

Australian Auxiliary Squadron, and  

only £50,000 for the local naval forces.  

During the past twelve months atten-  

tion has been directed throughout the  

Commonwealth to the question of de-  

fence in manner more healthful than  

at any period of Australian history—  

war scares notwithstanding-—but some-  

thing more is necessary than the for-  

mation of Defence Leagues, and the  

affirmation of declaratory resolutions.  

The ordinary League has little vi-  

tality and no permanency, and, at their  

best, and during their term of existence,  

are merely useful as auxiliaries. The  

Australian Natives’ Association, on the  

other hand, is permanent, practical as-  

sociation of men, whose interests are  

the interests of their country, and to  

them the citizen must look, not only for  

lead, but for that sustained and patrio-  

tic effort, which alone will bring Aus-  

tralian naval battle force into being.  

At the last conference of the Austra-  

lian Natives’ Association, the whole  

question of Australian defence was re-  

viewed, and each State conference dis-  

played marked unanimity. The Vic-  

torian division of the association  

plumped for the encouragement and ex-  

tension of the naval and military cadet  

system, for it is now generally recog-  

nised that compulsory universal service  

is inevitable in Australia, and it appears  

that this system alone will bring home  

to the people the vastness of their re-  

sponsibility in this lone outpost of the  

race. As Mr. Deakin said in London,  

“ If you want community sober, if  

you want community placable and  

reasonable, if you want community  

which realises what war is, and what  

war means, you must go to the com-  

munity, in which every man and every  

householder shares the risks of war.  

While you only pay for your defence  

you can afford to be interested in read-  

ing about the spectacles that it pre-  

sents. When you share the responsibi-  

lity, you will read that story with quite  

other eyes and other sympathies.” Ap-
