The issue is being debated in the Australian press at the present time | owing to the Constitutiomal Confer- | | ence called to meet in London within | the next year or two. The imme- dilate cause of discussion was Lord Milner's speech in reference to the conference. Several Australian comments infer. that, with Milner as Secretarv of State for the Colonies, they distrust the possibilities of the outcome. Attacks on Milner as a Federationist are frequent. Referring to Lord Miner's speech, the Melbourne Age says: "We cannot consent to be ruled by the majority decisions of representa- tives of Great Britain, Canada, South Africa and New Zealand, even though members of the Australian Government sit and vote amongst them. This country holds with all its strength to the right which fit enjoys of fixing the nature and mag- nitude of the preparations it will make for its own defence, and of deciding without compulsion from any Federal Imperial2 body, or any outside authority whatsoever, the circumstances and places in which its land and sea forces may be em- ployed. The Commonwealth acknowl- edges its duty to the Empire, and desires to protect its own coasts. It welcomes guidance from the Imperial Government In developing its defen- | sive policy; it favors consultation from time to time at Imperial con- ferences, but It is convinced that it can be a more willing and powerful Imperial partner 12 it retains its ab- solute freedom." | On another day, discussing the same issue, the Age said: "Australia cannot and will not sur- render any share in the tontrol of its . defences to any outside body. It will decide for itself the nature, extent and cost of its own system, and brook no interference. In this, as in' all other matters, the Commonwealth | claims, and has been conceded, com- plete rights of self-government.

The decision rests with | Australia itself in matters of organiz- | ation and extent, as well as in those of "operation" and "regulation." A correspondent of the New Statesman, writing/from Melbourne, | says that outside a very Itmited cir- | cle there is no body of opinion in Australia which favors Imperial fed- | eration or any closer political bonds with the United Kingdom. "Lord Milner's speech," he adds, "finds support only amongst the | ultra-Tory newspapers, the Austra- | lian group of "Round Table law- yers, politicians and University men, | and a few generals who are obsessed | with the purely professional aspects | of defence problems -- which can, | however, be solved without any for- | mal bonds, contractual legislation or | super-Parliament." | | 'Phe most democratic and ¥igilant | y | éléments in Australian political | Co. of New | thought," this writer declares, "are | | fundamentally at issue with the Im- | | perial Federation gospel In all its | | forms and with all its implications.
