Mr. Bridgeman admitted that there was perhaps some exaggeration in that, but he thought there was an element of truth in it, and it behoved the members of the Constitutional Club, against whom the accusation could not be brought, to do all they could to counteract any such ten- dency and make people realise that we cannot afford to neglect the Navy even in times, of profound peace.

FIGHT FOR UP-TO-DATE CRUISERS,
!
"Trade cannot be done to-day in an old-fashioned way, and it is up to all merchants to install the latest machinery in their works and offices in order to ensure the greatest efficiency and to reduce working costs.
"I am convinced that many a business has been ruined by old-fashioned ways, and I think I can also asy by old fashioned men. I am a great Eeliever in the young men, and feel that the industry of England has gone back to some extent through old-fashioned men keeping their positions too long." EFFICIENCY OF THE ELDERLY.
Sir Woodman, who is 51, when question ed afterwards about this statement, said:
WHAT OF ECONOMY?'

PRESS INDIGNANT.
A London dispatch says;—
The newspapers consider that the necessity of economy renders the time inopportune to allocate £200,000 (as the: Government, acting on the suggestion of the Prince of Wales, has decided to de) for the provision of sports grounds for civil servants, who already possess many excellent grounds in all parts of the country.
They include a new ground at Chis wick, which the King was expected to open on February 20th, comprising a pavilion costing £10,000, with a dance hall, lounges, six cricket pitches, a Rugby pitch, four Soccer pitches, four hockey grounds, 10 bard and 20 grass courts. and a running track. Civil servants pontributed £30,000 towards the cost, but more money is needed.
The Star anys. that the Government must take responsibility for this very blank generous endorsement of the cheque given by the Prince when he suggested that the Government might Kive a little assistance."
REDUCTIONS, IN DEFENCE.
The Weekly Dispatch, pointing out that the War Office has reduced the ex- penditure for the Territorials by £160,000, says that it is ridiculous to ask depart- menta, to economise when money is being lavishly ladled out for sports grounds for
civil servants..

SIK HERBERT MORGAN'S VIEW. Sir Herbert Morgan, Director of Lever Bros., Ltd., who is 49. challenges Sir Woodman's contention. He said:

For that ceaser "the Admiralty last year made a great fight to have up-to-date users. In that struggle the Admiralty was nobly supported by the Campon- wealth of Australia, which laid down two new cruisers of its own at the same time! that we laid down cruisers..
