the Empire. There is every reason then to believe that they will adopt and vigorously prosecute a foreign policy which is made clear and intelligible to them; but the statesmen who formulate it must be perfectly frank with their countrymen, and resist the temptation, for the sake of a momentary advantage in Parliament, to have recourse to quibble, chicanery, and intrigue.
In the meantime we seem to be agreed at last that our armaments have been insufficient, that our Navy must be strong enough to meet any possible combination of Powers, and that our Army must be made thoroughly efficient for any work it may have to do. The obvious determination of England to assert herself and resent gratuitous insult has already done something to arrest the feeling that was running against her. She certainly coinmands more general respect and confidence than she did at the opening of the year, and men perceive that she will not renounce without a struggle the sovereignty of the seas and the great Empire which depends upon that supremacy.
