Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colonies and Imperial Defence The security of Britain and of her oversea dominions has, for some years past, been engaging attention. Public interest in the question is increasing, and many able writers, chiefly in the Mother Country, have approached the subject. I have thought much on the problem in its various bearings, and the follow ing pages form my contribution to the dis cussion. A contribution which, coming from a Colonial who has served in the field with Colonials, and who knows their views and feelings, and the work of which they are capable, may, I trust, not be altogether worth less.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles and Problems of Imperial Defence I have been induced to write the following pages by some, probably most partial, friends, who have assured me that they would help the study of Imperial defence. It was with considerable hesitation and reluctance that I acceded to such representations, because I. felt that I should have to refer to many topics which could be better dealt with by a sailor. On the other hand, lay the argument that the part our army must play in world warfare was sometimes underrated, and that, though secondary to the navy, its efficiency was still an essential element in the force which secured our safety or existence. Imperial defence, although it cannot be carried out at all without a navy, cannot be accomplished by a navy alone; and, the two services being complementary to one another, it seemed not illogical to endeavour to view them in combination and lay stress on the correlation that exists between them. But that all the armed forces we possess should be regarded as a whole was a view I had long held; and such being my opinion, I had the less difficulty in persuading myself to write. In addition, an even more powerful motive actuated me. A constant examination of the history of past campaigns had impressed on me the value of a habit of examining war, and the preparation for war, from the business point of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Navy and the Nation: Or Naval Warfare and Imperial Defence The England of Raleigh had a population of less than six millions, and a trade insignificant if measured by modern standards. Until after the Union of 1707, Scotland brought no strength to the national cause, while Ireland was a standing source of weakness. The young settlement of Virginia was not founded till 1606, and Jamaica was not wrested from Spain till 165 5. Relatively to France, Spain, and Austria, almost to Holland, England was a small State, with few resources. Her one hope of future greatness lay in the manifestation of sea power - in the gifts of what has been styled, with strange oblivion of the plain teaching of history, the unstable element. The British Empire of to-day embraces eleven millions of square miles, with a population approaching three hundred and fifty millions, and a sea-borne commerce whose annual value is at least sterling.' This stupendous development of three hundred years has been rendered possible solely by naval agencies. So abundantly has the sturdy faith of the Elizabethan seamen been justified by works.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Defence: The Record of the Liberal Party; Persistent Opposition to Any Proposals Which Would Bind Canada Closer to the Motherland; Refused to Share the Burden At the Conference of 1907 Australia and New Zealand once again raised the question of naval defence, and expressed a desire that the overseas Dominions should contribute a greater share. The Australians were anxious to establish a local navy; the New Zealanders to contribute toward strengthening the British navy at home; the South Africans preferred to raise a local force which could be used anywhere in the world in case need.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Command of the Sea: Some Problems of Imperial Defence Considered in the Light of the German Navy Act The German Navy Law Amendment Act was passed by the Reichstag on May 21st. This is the last of the five enactments for the expansion of the German Fleet, and it is the most notable and menacing to her neighbours. It is proposed to add only three large ships, two cruisers and seventy-two submarines to the "established strength" of the fleet, but the grave feature of the Act consists in the resolve to set up a new standard of naval efficiency. For many years all nations in the interest of economy kept a large proportion of their men-of-war in reserve. Under the impetus of Germany the tendency of administrations has lately been to achieve rapid action - quick transition from the conditions of peace to those of hostilities. Now the German naval authorities have taken a further step in the same direction, which must impose on Europe the burden of war in times of peace. In future, within four hundred miles of the British Isles, all the most effective ships of the German Navy - battleships, cruisers and torpedo craft - will be held on the leash - manned, stored, victualled and incessantly trained.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Defence and Closer Union: A Short a Short Record of the Life-Work of the Late Sir John Colombo, in Connection With the Movement Towards Imperial Organisation At the meetings of the Royal United Ser vice Institution, the old Imperial Federation League (of which he was a founder), and later of the Imperial (lo-operation League, he always insisted on the necessity of Sea Power, with striking power to reinforce it. To distinguished guests from the Dominions he would show courteous hospitality, but at the same time inform them, with the utmost frankness, that he conceived they were not doing enough for Imperial Defence. Nor did his guests ever take Offence at the blunt statement of his views, for it was impossible not to admire and respect the man whose whole life was devoted to a single end, and whose unselfish devotion to the cause had done much to, clear away the mists of un certainty.

Download or read book Essays on Naval Defence Classic Reprint written by P. H. Colomb and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Naval Defence The value of the kind of studies embraced in these essays in enabling us to make correct forecasts was set forth in the Preface to the First Edition, so far as sail power, very heavy guns, classification of ships, and the leading principles of Imperial defence were concerned. There was a lament over our failure to study the question of naval tactics seriously, and by the use of the inductive method; and a fear was expressed lest such neglect might some day land us in trouble. No war had then occurred to test any of the tac tical forecasts made in the last two chapters, and so nothing could be shown in the way of experiment to justify the method pursued in that domain of naval science. But since then the Battle of Yalu has been fought. Clearing the nature of the battle from side issues, we may say that it was a trial of strength between two tactical formations - the line abreast, which, in the military phrase adopted by Captain bainbridge-hofl' of the United States Navy, would be line and the line-ahead, which, in the language of the same authority, would be column.
