navalmilitary defence of our Empire, and
what part of that defence is best assigned
to the armyi First and foremost then our
Empire is an 'oceanic Empire. 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. The

fullest in our ~miiitary dispositions,

ment to it, a striking arm to reach
where the navy cannot reach.
PEACH ABSURID IN EUROPE AND AHERICA.
Given,then, the complete subordination
of our military policy to our general
policy of oceanic defence the question
now rr: occunnnn. _
The train struck the trolley, over-

that next arises is-Where if we do Bght
on land at all, are we likely to fight l The
answer to that question ls, perhaps, best
given by the method of exclusion. In the
 -the nmhiliind. ,cfs-
Europe. We have no aggressive designs
against the territory of any of the. Con-
tinental Powers, and we cannot afford to
keep up armies large enough ever to cope
with theirs on ground of their own chaos-
ing. lf. through any circumstances, we
should come into conlict with any of
these powers or any combination of them,
the struggle will be decided at sea, and in
those ontlaying parts of their possessions
where, owing to our command of th&sea
and to their distance from their bases, we
can hope to iight them on land with
success. On the continent of America we
have indeed a land frontier of some 3,000
miles, adjoining one of the greatest pow-
' ° 81° “U ‘man °°“ °n9 ° within areasonnbly close distance of our
strategic front, and at the same time en-
joying a healthy climate and affording
ample opportunities for training. For-
tunately the geographical distribution
of our Empire provides us with a chain of
positions which meets with almost every
military requirement; South Africa,Aus-
n Canada form a line eve oint

our naval wpremgcy is t’h° k°7°b°“° of which is within ai'ortnight’s steaming
of the nearest part of our military front.
No distribution of our military forces
can be strategicallyjustified that does not
look lrstfand foremost to South Africa,
and then to Australia and Canada as the
main basis of our regular army. Great
Britain may, no doubt, for many years to
come be by far thelbest recruiting ground,
but as a base it has no business to
occupy more than a secondary position. -

lesson to be drawn from the ' war. if we
have not learnt it already from a general
consideration of our position, is that the
Regular Imperial Army is not, wanted

Africa had not been thought cf. Russia
had not yet reached Merve, still less
Penjdeh or Port Arthur. There was no
British occupation of Egypt, no Persian
question, no Siamese question, and last
of all, no_ Chinese question. Our amiy
abroad was regarded not so much as a
striking force, ready to carry out _ear
policy in those regions where the navy
could not act, but as a garrison to hold
Indie. and one or two other points con-
sidered of importance. '
