In "a report presented TO the Aus

General Sir Edward Hutton. G. O. c.
Of the Federal forces, made some
s,etements that created 2 decided SEN
satlon and uneasiness throughout the
country He insists that fully $500, 600
must be spent upon stores and equip
ment before the security Of Australia
ley land can be assured" On this topic
General Hutton wrote in the follow
ing disturbing strain:
1T has been shown that a further
. special warlike store vote Of f449,6S3
. is Required for stores, and that to pro-
vide the complete military system as

~ided are the least number which
would afford reasonable security
against invasion, and which would
suffice for the present protection Of
Australian interests"
General Hutton concluded as fol

MINISTRY PROMISES.

An animated debate took place in
the Senate July 13 in reference to the
inefficient equipment Of the Australian
forces. The Minister for Defense said
that most Of the things urged as nec-
essary by General Hutton would be
provided for in the next estimates.
Major General Sir Edward Hutton
viii return TO England early in No
vember. He will not seek an extern
sion Of his present engagement as G..
o. c. Of the Federal forces. Judging
by the remarks which he makes in his
annual report, however, he considers
that his successor should be an Of
ficer Of the imperial forces.
Although admitting that there are
more pressing requirements in the
Federal defense system than the es-
tablishment Of a military college, Ma
jor General Sir Edward Hutton. in his
annual report again urges that such
an institution is wanted in Australia.
The Sydney Herald Of July 4, COM
menting editorially on the financial
statement lately issued by the Federal
Government, says:
"Once again the official statement
OF the public accounts has falsihed the
anticipations of the Treasurer. Littl=
more than a month ago the country
was told by him that he expected the
year would close with a debit Of $780,
600. The amount Of the deficiency on
the consolidated revenue account is
f524,0o0. A year ago the debit was
CASA, 900. The Government has spent
its ample income for the year of
Eli. 1.45s,000 and 100000 in addition
That represents the measure OF econ
omy of which the Treasurer has been
boasting for many months past How
the result compares with the perform

premacy in the Pacific will be the aim
of the leading naval and military
powers and that Australian interests

VIGOROUS COMMENTS.
The report called forth strong news
paper comments on the situation and
sharp attacks on those deemed re-
sponsible therefor. The Melbourne
Argus OF July said editorially:
Major General Sir Edward Hutton
has not minced matters or attempted
10 gloss over errors Of policy or defects
; of administration. His candid, straight
spoken words give every legislator and
electOr an opportunity of understanding
the present condition OF our defenses
and what is needed to bring them up to
the required standard of efficiency.
Politicians absorbed in the par
/ ~ struggles of local public life seldom
think Of the seemingly remote chances
/ Of external attack. but as the Pacific
/ Ocean is fast becoming the storm cen
! ter of international politics Australia,
for its own sake and for the sake Of the
empire, should have its defenses all in
/ order"
! The Sydney Herald Of July also
1 spoke out as follows:
Australia would be helpless in face
/ OF a force of some 50 900 troops which
! had been enabled to land. If such an
invasion were to take place tomorrow
we have no men to meet the enemy.
1 That is a sufficiently startling state
ment, especially in view Of the devel-
/ opments in the Far East. Supposing
that the war now raging there should
end IN the strengthening of Japan's po-
sition. how shall we in Australia fare7
/ Our immigration laws are directly cal
culated TO hurt the pride OF a great na-
/ ton. We keep out individuals by means
/ Of our vigtlant customs officers, but it
will be impossible to divert an army
Z from its purpose in this way. Yet, fall
| ing the protection Of the British feet,
we have nothing except our intelligent
/ customs officers TO oppose 10 invasion.
/ Once the enemy Is landed in sufficient
! force we have no resource. Our citizen
army, according TO General Hutton, is
! inadequate, and il will not be adequate
until somewhere about 1903. Even then
/ the efficiency Of the force is dependent
upon the obedience of the civil authori-
/ ties to military advice.
Meanwhile the blame for all that
we deplore in our military unprepar-
edness lies chiefly with the various
/ Ministers we have had in the COM
monwealth. They have all been too
much occupied with anything rather
than Australian defense and they
have at the bidding OF the party now
in power submissively accepted cuts
from the pruning knife, which direct
ed against gold lace at headquarters
have struck home in the efficiency
and enthusiasm of local defense. Is
/ Il too late TO look for a reversal of

time occupied on the voyage was
twenty days and twelve hours, the
actual steaming time being eighteen

to Auckland was made in fifteen days
