(THE CANADIAN NAVY-BILL.
"MEMORANDA" FROM MR.
CHUNCHILI,
LONDON, March 13.
. Heuter's Ottawa correspondent stater that the second week of continuous discussion of the Navy Bill has been ahledy marked by Mr. Borden reading
memoranda from Mr. Churchill, which had not before been made public recommending that Canadian batėlė- ahip be constructed in Britain, and doubting the feasibility of building: them in Canada, as suggested by the Canadian Opposition.
The Opposition objected to Borden reading extracts, and challeng ad the Premier to read the full text.
Mr. Bordon caused much surprise by doing this, and the Liberals were obviously disconcerted. They char- acterised Mr. Churchill's remarks as being an unwarranted interference by British statesman in the domestic
politics of the dominion. The Liberala, further, challenged Mr. Churchill's conclusions and facts, and speakers continued emphatically sad beatedly to denounce the interference.
