"AT SKUTARI

LONDON, Feb. 9. The speeches of Admiral Tripita and

tish Press. Comment is universally made that the speeches were delivered in the Budget Committee, and the accrecy of the proceedings is usually emphasised by a placard placed at the door reminding members that rigid silence must be observed regarding cou£dectial proceedings and no notes must be taken. Hence in the absence of details comment in London is some- what reserved, but the acceptance of British supremacy is welcomed as a barbinger of a further agreement and sincere friendship, to which the Anglo- German harmony and identity of in- terests in the Balkan crisis has paved. the way. It is generally taken as granted that Germany will not take the Dominion ships into account.

The Times says: "It is impossible to read the words of Admiral Tirpitz as a binding acceptance of Mr. Char- chill's offer. The speeches obviously were animated with a friendly spirit and may be intended to lead to such an acceptance, but our Berlin cor respondent is doubtless right when be affirms that no agremien las been made on the sabject and to negotia tious begun with that object. British naval policy is based not on words but on the programmas of other nations."

The Westmister Guzelle considera that it will not be difficult to reach a settled policy convenient to both nations.
