In its object. The time for talking Is

There is no insurance for peace equal

I'VE have arrived at crisis ir our
history as an empire. We aim at no ag-
gressive action or increase of territory
nor do we hold threats to other nations.
we wish to keep clear Of all interna-
tional disputes. We wish to consolidate
the empire for the purpose Of mutual ad-
vantage and defense.
But we are determined to hold our
own and let all know that our unassail-
able supremacy at shall be kept I'D
Instead OF the British navy solely main
tanning that supremacy ms in the past
the other four nations have offered to
come in and share some of the burden

The heart Of the empire is absolutely
dependent on the punctual and sure de-

material supplied by It's arterles-the
trade routes
"A successful attack on the trade
routes would paralvze the trade Of
the Dominion as well as that of Great
Britain.
ut therefore becomes a matter OF

The tendency of late has been to
gain complete naval supremacy in
