NEW VICEROY
Cruiser Construction
(Special Air Mail Service) ..
London, July 22,
The keel-plate of the new Cruiser Aurora is to be laid at Portsmouth Dockyard next Tues-" day morning by Lady Kelly, wife of Admiral Sir John Kelly, the
Commander-in-Chief. The Aurors will be the fourth and last ship of the Arethusa class of 5,200 tons, as all later cruisers, on accoun: of the trend of design in other coun- tries, will be of not less than 9.000 tons. The Aurora should be ready for service in the autumn of 1937. and will probably join the Third
OF INDIA
To Succeed Lord Willingdon
London, Aug. 8.
The Marquis of Lilithgow is to appointed the next Viceroy of India, in succession to Lord Will- ingdon, whose term of office is due to expire in April next year,
The fact that the appointment has been announced some months before Lord Linlithgow takes office may be interpreted as an indica- tion of the determination of the Government to press on the in-
Cruiser Squadron in the Mediter-auguration of the new Constitu- ranean, to which earlier ships of tion. her class have been allocated.
With the laying down of the Aurora all four cruisers of the 1934 programme
on the stocks. are They have been begun at relative- ly earlier dates than the cruisers of the 1933, programme, as it was not until November 21, 1934, a year and eight months after authoriza- tion, that the Southampton was begun at Clydebank. Of of the 1934 programme the Sheffield was laid down by Vickers-Armstrongs at Walker-on-Tyne on January 31 last; the Glasgow by the Scotts" Company. Greenock, on April 15; and the Birmingham at Devonport Dockyard last Thursday. All these should come into service before the end of 1937.
Lord Willingdon
The appointment confrms the forecasts of political prophets, who generally predicted Lord Linlithgow as being a fitting choice. It is re- called that his Chairmanship of the Royal Commission on Agricul- ture in India a few years ago Blves him personal experience of an ad- ministrative subject which will be supremely important in the future in India, while by his Chairman- ship of the Join Parliamentary Committee on Indian reform, Lord Linlithgow gained close experience and knowledge of the new "Con- stitution, under which he will be the first, Governor-General. ·

At the present time there are 10 cruisers under construction for the Royal Navy. Inclusive of the Sydney for the Australian Fleet. Three of them, the Apollo, Galates, and Sydney, were authorized in 1932: the Newcastle, Southampton, and Penélope in 1933; and the Sheffield, Glasgow, Birmingham, and Aurora in 1934. The ships of 1932 will all be completed between now and December. Those of 1933 are still on the stocks, but the Newcastle should be launched in January next, the Southampton in February, 1936, and the Penelope in October, 1935. In addition to the 10, three more were authorized in the Navy Estimates presented In March, 1935. They are not yet named, and as hardly any funds were included for them will prob. ably not be laid down until 1936.
