Strategical- ly considered, it is an Empire the greater part of which consists of the sea coast of other nations, and that frontier can be kept inviolate by naval supremacy alone

of our whole defensive position. Not only is it the most important issue in itself, but it also limits the military question by the consideration of expense. Our military expenditure must always be the balance of what we can affordto spend 8021' mikillir Sure that We have satisfied our naval needs. Even with our great wealth we cannot aim at being at the same time the leading sea power in the world and a Qrst-class militarv power in the sense in which those words are un- derstood on the Continent of Europe.
