TREATY OF SEYRES.

The memorandum shows naval estimates and non-recurrent, war Babilities amounting to 8 millions, including 3 millions for the com pletion of the light cruisers, aircraft carriers, destroyers and submarines begun in war time.. The Admiralty in pursuance of its duty of carrying out the government's policy of a one-power standard, has effected drastic economies and has agreed to assume risks which in ordinary circumer. ances would be regarded as difficult to reconcile with the full maintenance of the government's declared policy. After detailing its economies it says the reduced navy must be maintained at the highest possible efficiency. Hence the battleships Hercules, Colossus, Neptune. St. Vincent, Collin gwood. Temeraire, Bellerophon, and Superb, are transferred to the dispose I list.

Of thirty capital ships on the effective list the older types becoming obsolescent cannot be reckoned efficient fighting units for more than a few years. We need their gradual replacement by modern ships embodying the lessons of the war we can no longer disregard. It must be remembered that no capital ship has been laid down and completed since 1915. It is obvious that the ships of our reduced navy must be up-to-date and most efficient, therefore 24 millions are included in the estimates as a first instal- ment for the replacement of ships. It cannot be too strongly emphasised that in making the long delayed beginning of the replacement of obsolete, and Greece prefers to suffer

programmes in answer to those of any other Power.

Indeed, the government trusts it may be possible as a result of frank and friendly discussion with the principal naval powers to avoid anything approaching competitive building. Meanwhile it would be dereliction of duty to allow the efficiency, training, and morale of the Navy to deteriorate through neglect to provide it with material equal to the best and wherein we can feel confidence. It is also imperative to avoid irrevocable loss of time in building facilities which might make it impossible to maitain o ar sea security if threatened.

INTERNATIONAL COURT OF

JUSTICE

The Imperial Conference in June`will give a welcome opportunity of discussing fully with Dominion representatives the problem of naval policy in relation to the Empire as a whole and for the consideration of sugges- tions for mutual co-operation. The lines whereon it is proposed to proceed are towards the development of Dominion navles under the administrative and executive command of their own officers, each separate navy being the responsibility of its own government and imbued with the particular characteristics and spirit of its own people, working in close co-operation, however, under our guidance and common doctrine. If a war occurred wherein the Empire as a whole participated, the various component navies
