4 BRITISH IMPERIAL NAVY.

Lord Charles Reresford was one Of the last
speakers at the British Imperial Press Con
ference. and also one Of the most important. In
deed if his hearers of the colonial press take un
mis- suggestion and push it to adoption. they
seem not unlikely TO do. his address may surpaSs
in practical Importance all the other proceedings
of the conference for it will in that case mark
new epoch in the history of the British En-
pire, and also in the naval history Of the world.
This. briefly stated. is his logic: The mainten-
ance Of the two-power-or twice one-pOwer-
standard i'm the navy is essential. But Il is i'm
possible for the United Kingdom alone TO main

whole to do SO. Therefore. all the five nations of
the empire must join in the work. There must
be one homogeneous navy. with all its parts in

The United Kingdom will continue to provide
the major part Of it. but the Dominion of
Canada. the Commonwealth of Australia the
Dominion OF New Zealand and the Union of
South Africa must each provide proporticnate

This reasoning is apparently sound. We sup
pose that there are few il any thoughtful OBJ
