Excerpt from The Imperial British Navy How the Colonies Began, to Think Imperially Upon, the Future of the Navy It is in the hope that such naval federation is at hand, and that it will be achieved with the consent of the several States forming the Empire, that this book has been written. It is a bringing together of the facts con nected with the Colonial attempts to found new Navies or to graft their help on to the British Navy. It is a survey of the past, but it is also intended to be a signpost for the future. My hope in writing it has been that I might make clear to the man in Birmingham and in Brisbane, in Pretoria and in Regina, that old but often forgotten truth that the sea is all one. Therefrom depends the great fact in the future defence of the Imperial Commonwealth - that our sea forces must be all one in spirit and in direction if not in actual details. Let us be backed with God and with the seas Which He hath given us for fence impregnable, And with their helps only defend ourselves: In them and in ourselves our safety lies.
