She Faces the Fact That Great Britain Can No Longer Guar
anee Her NdpaL Defense
(From The Sydney Bulletin)

AT the Empire Conference leading
members of the Lloyd George govern
ment told us where we stand as re-
CARDS naval defence:
while Britain was prepared to
defend her outposts as far as pos
sible, she was unable to guarantee
that in time of war every dominion
would be inviolate."
Now, even our most vehement anti
railitarists-those who disapprove of
compulsory training and who have
passed resolutions against any Austria
Ian taking part in war outside the
commonwealth-p a naval de-
Tense policy of sort. They are not
proud of it, and so it is rarely if ever
mentioned in public. 1t amounts to
leaving the whole burden of keeping
Australia high wage, white mans
country, to the United Kingdom.
The local pacifists who want to leave
Britain to defend this country indef-
the British taxpayers must undertake
the business as a matter of self
interest. The "money bugs" of the
city of London have too many interests
here to let the commonwealth pass to
Asia-that, hitherto, has been the real
sea defense policy Of many of those
Who now call themselves Laborites.
Cutting Out Luxury
Who can doubt, apart from the con-
ference statement quoted above and
the many others like it which have
beer made since the armistice, that the
old sea defense standby of our con-
scientious DIRECTORS has vanished for
ever? The dominions got far more
out of Britain before the war than
Britain ever got out of them. The
protection of places like Australia and
Maoriland was in a sense a luxury
an obligation entered into and sus-
tanned more for glory than profit, like
those superfuous estates which the
landed proprietors Of England have
been getting rid of under the spur OF
war taxation. That is fairly accurate

Austin Dobson

AUSTIN Dobson needed the maxim
of Thales and achieved that which
Cervantes pronounced the most
difficult task in the world. He
knew himself-knew better than
even his keenest critic his lbnita-
tions as well as his powers. The re-
suit was that while there were many
things in literary art which he did
not touch, it is doubtful if there
was another among all the Victorian
poets whose writings contain so
small percentage of lines which
friends wish had not been written.
He was noteworthy in producing
no "juvenilia." He indeed wrote
much in his youth, but his earliest
poems show the expert craftsman
ship and ripened art of his later
work. He enriched his time by in
Producing into English verse those
exquisite preciosc forms which
French poets had developed-de-
monstrating, as the French critics
ungrudgingly acknowledged, that
the one language was as fit and as
opulent as the other for such ex-
preston. He wrote the first origi-
nal ballade ever written in English,
and followed it with rondel and
rondeau and willamette so delicate in
both letter and spirit as to Justify
the exclamation that he had out
Banvilled De Banville himself. Nor
did he neglect the characteristic
forms of English literature, but in
such works as his Ballad of Beau
Brocade' he made the eighteenth
century live again.
He might be regarded as a rein
carnation of some eighteenth CEN
fury master. seeing how naturally
his mind reverted to the mellow ar
tificiality of the days Of powdered
wigs and small clothes. From it he
selected all the subjects of his note
worthy series of critical biograp plies
Fielding, Steele, Goldsmith. Wal
pole, Bewick, Hogarth. Into it's
very spirit he entered during the
more than forty years Of his dry
as-dust clerkship at the Board of
Trade. Nor should we forget that
while most of his poems were in
highly artificial forms, they carried
a spontaniety and breathed free
dom which must be at once the envy
and the despair of the most anar-
chic apostle of free verse"
Lamb, writing his essays at the
India House, and Hawthorne, dream
ing romances in dusty port sur
veyor's Office, were surpassed in
heightened incongruity of environ
ment and products by man who
from his sixteenth to his sixty-frst
year was faithful, plodding routine
workman in bureaucratic drudgery,
and yet at the same time sang of
Phyllis and composed ballads Of bro
cade, as though his days had been
spent in floral bowers and his nights
in perfumed salons. He was not the
greatest of the Victorian poets, out
his small light shone clearly and his
verse forms will doubtless continue
to be models to collegians and to
the columnists.

any other place than field equipped
to receive them.
In the period from 1900 to August
/, 1914, Count Zeppelin built and
launched twenty-five of his air levia-
thans, of which ten finished their
careers before complete trials could
be made. In September, 1913, Naval
Zeppelin No., / was beaten down
by squalls in the North Sea and
wrecked, with loss of fifteen lives.
One month later Naval Zeppelin No.
2 exploded in the air at Johannes
thai, and the crew, consisting of
twenty-five men, was killed.
According to French military tes-
tlmony, ten of these vessels, on which
Germany had counted so highly,
were lost in the first four months of
the war. Three were brought down
by gunfire and one by storm on the
Western front; at least three per
ished on the Eastern front, and
Naval Zeppelins Nos. 3 and a were
lost in gales while patrolling the
North Sea- BY January, 1915, the
DOGGY no longer frightened France,
and, though England continued to be
alarmed by sensational raids, the
part played by Zeppelins in the war
was trivial
But suddenly, following the armis-
tice, England developed what, &C.
cording to her own critics, was an
almost unreasoning faith in these
very craft which she had scoffed at.
Shesbegan to consider them not only
for her air navy but for commercial
purposes. Scientifically there is a
basis for this hope The airplane is
limited. The lift of airplanes is
proportional to the squares of their
linear dimensions, whereas the lift
of similar airships varies as the cube
of their dimensions.
If, therefore, the size of airplanes
is increased very greatly, while still
adhering to the present materials
and CONSTITUTIONAL methods, a point
would be reached where the machine
could just lift it's own weight, with
no reserve for carrying useful
load. With the airship, however, the
useful load increases continuously,
no matter how large the ship.
This would seem to justify heavy
expenditure of money and be com
pensation for a certain loss of life
were it not for the record of fragil-
ity and unmanageability. Yet the
new Zeppelins still adhere very
closely to the type of Zeppelin No.
/, built in 1900, of which more than
fifteen were lost through inclement
weather before 1916. The conclusion
can scarcely be avoided that if a
future lies in balloon airships it will
be realized only through experiment.
ing, and not through the extravagant
purchase of vessels as they are now
constructed.

Glad to take lazy chap

not only unable to compete in the leu
ton countries, but find difficulty often
in keeping alive in their own.
When circumstances such as these,
which merely touch the fringe of the
British taxpayers troubles, are con-
sidered, it becomes evident that Lloyd
George and his colleagues, in announc-
ing at the conference their country's
inability to go on paying the whole
of the insurance charges on a white
Australia, spoke in deadly earnest. The
old volunteer army is a casualty, 80 to
speak. Are the Australians, whose de-
Tense policy on the blue water has been
to keep the home fires burning, going
to continue that seemingly safe but
i'll reality highly dangerous practice
Do they propose to act as the English
| did when, being little more populous
tnan we are to-day, they beat off Philip
of Spain, or as the natives of the Indies
did in face of the perils represented by
Philips ancestors?
That more than any question Of
wages or hours of labor Is the chief
issue for the Australian worker; the
worker, like the medieval pacifsts,
who knew the conquistadores, and, I'M
like the modern capitalist, who can in
vest his money elsewhere and go there
when danger threatens, being the indi-
vidual who is chiefly menaced in a rich
and unattended country.
The British government evidently
rejects the notion that any political
section in Australia worth talking
about favors no sea defense at all.
But some one at the conference
whether it was British Minister or
W. M. Hughes is not made clear by
the cable-talked of "a heavy subsidy,
provided adequate strength is main
tanned in ths China squadron and
other forces, with bases in Australia
and Maoriland, cooperating with the
existing ships of the commonwealth
feet, which will be kept in state of
efficiency"
NntionhOod
If there were no inclination in the
commonwealth to slacken our defense
| effort--and for various reasons, all
| more or less rotten, there is fairly
strong inclination in that direction
then this subsidy scheme might well
create one. Australia, like Britain, is
in fairly deep financial waters. Our
debts total fs2o,00o.0O0, and they are

ously unnecessary public expenditure.

endorsement OF the association and q

The association is now making an
effort to have the college teach

OF students that have specialized in

necessary for them to take posi-
