BY LORD ROTHERNTERE

It has been well said that ever Since the Norman conquest the main principles of our nationa defense have been two-fold.
 A standing naval force must be organize under the crown" and alliances must be maintained with the. neighboring continental powers which are. opposed to the enemies of England.
 I contend that the observance of these principles was never more es- sential than today.
 We rarely stood alone in the past We dare not do so now.
 At the present moment France is at the head of a continental group which includes Belgium. Poland and the states of the Little Entente, among them being Roumania, Jugo- SlaNla, and Czecho-S -Slovakia. It is this moment which our government selects to break from France and divide Europe afresh upon the ques- tion of whether Germany should be made to pay her debts. Where shall we find allies in our hour of need |? "Seporate Action"' .
 The British note to France says mysterlously that Separate action may be required in order tod hasten q settlement which cannot be much longer delayed without the gravest consequences to the recovery of trade and the peace of the world" What sort of separate action" can be taken by our government after it mas destroyed the Entente and cut itself off from the nations who pore arms in the allied cause during the great war?
 The British government is not in a position to undertake any sort of effective separate action, 2" if is moi
 
 pears to be it's desire. What it is really doing is to SOW the seeds of further conflicts.
 Europe without the Entente is pound to mean an immense growth or armaments. It means that the will be rent asunder.

 It means the certain approach of another great war, in which we may not De able to call upon the assist ance or the overseas dominions, for nothing Is more certain than that Australia and Canada and New Zea- land and South Africa. whose young mes wrought suca wonjerous deeds in France, Gallopoli and Palestine, will not approve g poli:y whica fa- vors Germany at the expense of France.
 Means Much More.
 
 But 1t means a great deal more If our government stimulate the divi- sion of Europe into two armed camps, we shall have to resort at once to conscription, without waiting for the outbreak of fresh hostillties.
 The immense extent of London, on which we used to pride ourselves, makes the metropolis the most vuI- nerable target in the world. It is a fairly. well accepted axiom of war that for every new method of attack some means of defense is eventually found; but expert airmen inform ms that at the present time there Is no sure means of defending London from air attacks on large scale.
 l trust that I may never live to see the day when any continental nation will again attack us. either on land or sea or from the air I am only discussing the changes in mod ern warfare which have to a great extent wiped out the advantages we formerly enjoyed by reason of our insular position.

 And so. each time the two Witches got into trouble, it was because they wished to do something wrong. And trying to do something wrong, always brings unhappiness.

 And when the two little Witches tried to get upon their feet, they could not do it.. You will have to stand upon your hands until we get three miles from h e r e." Raggedy Ann told them. And of course the two little old Witches had to do just that.
 Then, when the two little old Wi t c h c S finally could stand upon their feet, they were so tired, they had to sit down and rest.

ample of this method is that in use

about nine hundred miles. There

Is to stop on main track and con-
