SDAY, BRISBANE’S NOTED STATESMAN |TWO W MARCH 4, 1903. PRAISES YANKEE ENTERPRISE 1 FTER the war with the Transvaal there comes | to the British people the trouble of putting | into practice the lessons it taught, and it ap- | pears the latter is going to be about as vexatious | and almost as costly as the war itself. The Miniszry} has announced a programme including a large in-| crease of the army, with a consequent large increasei of expenditure, and the taxpayer sees no prospect | ahead of relief from his burdens. “ Perhaps the new-army plans would not be so irri- | tating to the public if there were a chance of reducing ! expenditures elsewhere in order to meet the addi- tional military expehditures, but no such chance exists. On the contrary the Government will have to ask the taxpayers this year for large appropriations for the navy, for settling the Irish land question, for the construction of railways in South Africa and for the improvement of the Thames so as to provide proper port facilities for London. Consequently the already heavy, and it is going to require all the strength the Ministry possesses to carry 4t through Parliament. It is significant that on a motion which virtually censured the War Secretary the opposition showed the announcement that if the motion were adopted the Ministry would resign. In pleading for a larger army he went so far as to assert that the empire needs it by way of progection for the Indian frontier, thus appealing to the habitual British fear of Russian de- signs. Even after such pleading the victory was by no means a great one, for had the Irish Nationalists | voted against the Government the majority on the | side of the Ministry would have been but a small one. Mr. Balfour stated that while the Ministry would continue the support given to the navy and even largely augment the naval strength, yet the em- ire could mot rely wholly upon the navy. An army needed for imperial purposes, for it is not pos- sible to bring a war to an end with a fleet. He went on to say that at the present time there are needed three army corps for work outside of the kingdom. The defense of India, must be considered, for in case of a war with Russia the Indian frontier would be immediately attacked. He added: “The strategic position of Russia is improving from year to year. The Indian frontier is the only part of the cmpire adjacent to a first class military power, and in the improbable and unhappy event of a war with Russia we should require not only all the forces now available in India, but all that -Mr. Brodrick's scheme will place at the disposal of the Govern- ment.” While Parliament is thus discussing the unavoid- 4ble increase of the army another discussion is going on over reforms in army administration. It appears that Lord Roberts, while earnest enough in his desire | to eliminate old abuses, has not sufficient power to | do so. He is subordinate to the War Secretary, and the War Secretary is too much of a politician to be the existing evils. It has even been suggested that it would be well to retire Roberts and give the of- fice of commander-in-chief to the Duke of Con- naught, on the ground that as he is brother to the King he would not be subject to the influences that now hamper and largely nullify the best efforts of Roberts. It seems to be admitted on all sides that some- thing should be done, but no one knows very well how to do it. The abuses in the army are shared in by nearly the whole aristocratic class, and they ate largely the result of social intrigues of great dames who wish their husbands or sons to hold military rank. 1i Lord Roberts had a free hand he might easily rid the army of the worthless lot, but it is said | he is far from having the power that is popularly supposed. Therefore when the time comes for Par- liament to discuss the army bill in detail there will probably be a vigorous effort made to enforce re- forms before the new corps are provided for. v e e A number of Boer delegates, said to represent 10,000 Boers, are in this country looking for farming lands on which to establish colonies, and the:experi- ment will be watched with interest. We shall be glad to welcome the stalwart Afrikanders, but when they settle here they will find that American farming has to be done in a scientific way and not in the free and easy style of South Africa. Miss Floretta Vining is a Boston girl who is seek- ing fame by telling the world what is necessary for its improvement. She came very near finding it not long ago by saying the most urgent need of the time is a freer and fuller use of the birch rod in the pub- lic schools. At present Miss Vining is getting lots of advertising and advice to sit down. e Many men of many minds in high diplomatic circles in Europe are discussing the best means of settling the Macedonian muddle, but we note that none of them suggest leaving it to The Hague court. St. Louis evidently intends that her exposition shall draw the biggest crowd on record, for she has arranged to make a feature of a reunion of the Smith and Lewis families and do honor to them. The Legislature of New Mexico has just named one county Quay and another Roosevelt—and still it does not get into the Union. What it needs is a county named Beveridge. : The Tanana boom is on, but many of those who are thinking of making a rush for the place would better postpone it to manana. % g ON.

Mac Pat.” Mr. Macdonald-Paterson is making his first visit to Califernia, his destination ; being London. From there he purposes | going to Scotland, returning home in the latter part of May by way of San Fran- clsco. % “I have traveled much during my life- | time,” said he yesterday, ‘“but I must | confess that I have never made a more | delightful trip than the one that has just | ended. . | “Heretofore I have gone to England by | way of the Suez route, but I'll never travel that way again. The American route brings the Australian into a happy assoclation with his American cousin, | who makes his sea voyages that route, | and the colonist has a jolly time. “Speaking of Americans, by the way, reminds me that you are rapidly gaining a firm foothold in Australia and the peo- | ple in the colonies are glad of it. The | Australlans are very proud of the cam- araderie that has been established be- tween the great American nation and ourselves—that is, I mean the British na- tion. “We no longer regard you as cousins, but in our speeches in Parliament, ad- dresses at banquets and otuer public func- tions it is ‘our American brother. “‘Americans are pouring into Australia and we are glad of it, for we want you. Good feeling has brought about a union that means America and Great Britain will forever command the respect of the world and preserve the dignity of the English speaking classes. In other words, we are at work on the job, and we pur- pose to hold it. “In Australla we have been less fortun- ate than you have in Amerfca. We have cxpericnced ten years of bad times re- sultant of the continuous drought. which has destroved since 1591 over 50,000.000 of our sheep and ruined our wool industry. After the most careful calculating I can- not discover how we are going to recover fullv from the effects of this disaster in a less period than seven years. Of course, my friends in Australia do not all agree with me on this point, but every indica- tion points to the correctness of my opin- fon. It was not until lately that the ma- jority of them would be couvinced that times change; that floods come year after year and droughts follow in the same manner. “You may easily imagine the severity of the drought in Australia when I tell you that, while our steamer was passing out of Moreton between Point Danger and Double Island there was aboard a gir! who saw rain for the first time in thir- teen years and four months. In the Moreton waters. of course, rain falls al- most daily, for it is there that the battle of the winds is almost continuous. “In Queensland and New South Wales t drought has lasted nearly thirteen years, acting Hke a dreadful pest and circling around like a current. Of late, however, it has looked as if we are in for better times. Our gold and tin mines, which are the most marvelous in the world, especially those in the fields of Charters Towers and Gympie and the Mount Morgan mine, which we now proudly regard as the biggest gold pro- ducer on the globe. “Agriculture has not suffered as greatly during the distressing period as might be supposed and its branches are progress- ing most satisfactorily. As to our manu- facturing industries, they are doing won- derfully well and with the cheaper pro- duction of iron and steel which is bound to come we will advance rapidly among the manufacturing countries. Strange as it may seem, Australia abounds with iron mines, though notwithstanding the great demand for that material in the colonies, the people have not yet undertaken any extensive development of these vast prop- erties.
