The speakers general plan for an
empire navy, as outlined In his speech,
contemplateS distinct fleets for each
of the five nations of the empire, Great
Britain. Canada, Australia. New Zea

spent so much money, have been dis.

suggested that the dominions could
assist greatly in this general plan by
rebuilding and re.equipping these
abandoned naval bases In the event
of war the ships would have TO act un-
der a central startegical bureau, which
would have 10 be established by the
admiralty At the same time there
must be no hint OF the domination OF
the home government during noraml

that tnc grave warnings uttered by

the offers OF Dreadnaughts from Colo

the colonies are recognizing the unpre

We look on high for mighty power
To guide our Union band;
We ask our Maker for strength and

TO work and till the land.
We stand together for our rights
We mean to harm no man;
We work and toll and till the soil,
In brotherly love we stand.
Come, work together, one and all,
Stand waiting at your post,
Be ready when you are called to go,

We number thousands in our band;
Come, work with all your might.
We love our sun-tanned laboring man
With brown arms strong and true,
Like soldiers love the colors

Oh, stop, dear farmers, stop and think
Before you further go.
How near you stand upon the brink.

Unless we work most ardently,
We soon be gone astray.
