THE ORGANISATION OF THE  

MILITARY FORCES OF BRI-  

TANNIA.  

Now that the question of effective  

sea power for Australia has been de-  

finitely settled, and that the strength of  

naval battle force in Australian waters  

will be increased in three years by  

twenty per cent., it is fitting for atten-  

tion to be directed to the organisation  

pf our military forces. The visit of  

Lord Kitchener to Australia is the nat-  

ural corollary of the Imperial Confer-  

ence on Naval and Military Defence of  

the Empire, held lalst year in London,  

and whilst we await his report on the  

Australian problem, good purpose  

might be served in publishing extracts  

from memorandum prepared by the  

Secretary of State for War. Mr. R. B.  

Haldane, which he presented for the  

consideration of that Conference.  

There is only one way to consider and  

determine the naval and military de-  

fence of Australia, and that is that the  

Commonwealth is but part of one  

great whole —the British Empire. We  

live in an age of great ideas, an age in  

which steam and electricity have  

brought the remotest peoples into com-  

munity of interest. Every dominion  

of Britannia is in touch with world poli-  

tics. Australia is part and parcel of  

the greatest world powers on the globe.  

Ninety-eight per cent of our people are  

of British origin, and of all the Over-  

sea Dominions of Britannia, Australia  

stands above them all as the ernbodi-’  

ment of the four original nations —  

English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh.  

We have not merely to protect Aus-  

tralia, but our race, and so long as our  

relations at the great cradle of the  

race, so long as their far-flung descend-  

ants remain true to themselves, the flag  

of our fathers will remain flying, and  

be saluted as the emblem of freedom  

an'd race unity.  

General Remarks on the Military De-  

fence of the Empire.  

Strategical Conditions of the Empire.  

1. At the Imperial Conference of  

1907, the General Staff submitted  

paper dealing with the “ Strategical  

conditions of the Empire from mili-  

tary point of view.” In it they en-  

deavoured to enunciate the principles  

upon which the military organisation  

of the Empire should be based, and em-  

phasised the importance of adopting  

some common ideal for which all could  

work. It was pointed out that this  

ideal involved acceptance of the follow-  

ing principles:—  

Ist.—That without superiority at sea  

our Empire cannot be maintained.  

2nd.—That it is the duty of each  

self-governing portion of the Empire  

to provide, as far as possible, for its  

own territorial security.  

3rd. —The schemes of mutual assist-  

ance in time of need should be prepared  

upon definite system.  

It appears to be generally recognised  

that these three principles of sea com-  

mand. self-defence and mutual support  

must be the basis of any sound system  

of Imperial Defence.  

Measures Taken by the Mother  

Country.  

2. The Mother Country has recog-  

nised these needs —
