Mr Humphreys-It is really a question whather the value of the dock should not be increased rather than written down. I

am sure you, will agree with me, and the gentlemen present who read the papers and notice what is going on in the world will agree with me, whot I say that if that dock had not been built we would have had to start building at once. I do not impute any blame to the directors for building it. it had not been done in the past it would have been done now. Accommodation has to be found for Her Majesty's war seancle, which in a few years may be on the war- path. Great pressure is being brought to bear for the construction of a look at Bun bay Capable of taking in any ship which they expect moy have to be docked, -1
