The discussions by the members in- dicate that the adequate defence of the Commonwealth is regarded as by far the most important question for immediate consideration. The Cabinet is stated to be faced with difficulty, because Singapore was the central point in the scheme of the reorganized Australian naval defence. It is understood that Aus- tralia's contribution to the proposed Singapore base was to have been: £1,000,000 is necessary. In the meantime, E. K. Bowden, Minister of Defence, already has voiced the necessity .of considering an alternative means of defence in the Pacific, while Major General Sir Granville Ryrie, Assistant Minister of Defence, now favors the establish- ment of a naval base in Australia. Premier S. M. Bruce, speaking at a banquet given here in honor of Rear- Admiral Sir Frederick Field and offi- cers of the visiting special squadron, declared that Australia recognized her obligation to assist in the task of Imperial naval defence, but she was resolved that her aid should take te form of an Australian navy, coms- pletely autonomous in peace time, but acting in co-operation with, and forming a unit of the Imperial nasg in war-time. cee feet Britain Makes Final Setth- ment of War Accounts Be- tween Two Governments. 4 tion throughout Ireland as it has) motion of Kevin O'Higgins, Minister military pier in an automobile an caused' to myself 'and my colleagues. ver Medal of Order of St. - John of Jerusalem. of H 9 Altair that the President, fired a Machine gun on a leave party| ~ uwpother the criminals were mas- Maple products--Syrup ; : Ottawa yys:--| De appointed to the post. .

Remarking the Ireland was not yet out of the woods, Major Cooper ap- pealed for unity and the banishment of personal considerations. Professor John MacNeil, Minister of Education, contributed a moderat- ing speech to the discussion. Anybody expecting unusual or abnormal things not to happen in the new Irish State, he said, expected miracles. Secret combinations in the army were once nécessary, but the Government's task was to 'enable thé army to grow out of that state. Mutiny by subordinate officers might be bad, but the deliber- ate and 'conscious setting aside of the authority of the Government by the Army Council was worse than mutiny, and.a Defence Minister who stood for it had no option but to resign.

Sev- eral Laborites wore the ordinary even- ing coat, with short breeches and silk stockings, but they took advantage of the crisp weather to enfold themselves as completely as possible in their over- coats. Among the members of their party in the House of Commons afterward there was considerable twitting of these officials who "would parade about in swords," and more than one pof them was asked how much he had to pay for the hire of his court cos- tume and sidearms. ~ The newspapers here recently have been carrying ad- vertisements of shops as well as indi- viduals willing to let court dress com- plete, guaranteeing a perfect fit. Thomas Griffiths, treasurer of the royal household, and John Parkinson, comptroller, were for the first time in attendance at a full state function. The former, when a boy, was a half- timer in a tinplate works at 4 pence a day. Parkinson started to work as a half-timer in a coal pit at 10 years of age. Both were in court regalia, wearing swords, at this week's levee, and carried white wands symbolical of their office.
