place those which would be scrapped in the near future.

Referring to disarmament he said that we had done more than any other country. We had scrapped, since the Armiatice, over 2,160,000 tons of armed ships and canceled orders for a further 314,000 tons.

Mr. Bridgeman added that 1,650,000 tons of the total had been scrapped before the Washington Conference or more than we had got now.

Mr. Bridgeman also emphasised that we had no intention of engaging in a ship-building competition with America, and, as to retrenchment at the Admirally, the experiment might be made, at the next vacancy, to have one lesa Sea Lord on the Board in future.

LABOUR MOTION DEFEATED

Mr. Bridgeman said that the fact that we were beginning construc- tion with six-inch guns instead of eight-inch guns, which had been and had prescribed for cruisers been dropped out of the 1027-28 programme, showed clearly that not trying to go one we were better than the United States. had already Indeed, Mr. Baldwin affirmed that we were not going to engage in shipbuilding competition with America, regarding which there had been much loose talk which had not been borne out by carry out any policy he had to since he had been at the Admiralty. "The peace of the world would not be endangered because one, two or peace-loving nations have strong Navies, as long as they were not animated by ambition for ter- ritory or lust of conquest and no body can say that either of us are." He added that we are prepared to consider disarmament proposals, amendments of proposals already made, or new proposals perhaps not yet discovered,

A Comparison Mr. Bridgeman said that compar- ing like with like the present Naval Estimates were £2,500,000 below those of 1914 while considering the difference of the monetary values they were spending £27,500,000 below pre-War times.

It was impossible to reduce the headquarters staff in proportion with the reduction of the fleet but reductions were being made, and at the next vacancy the experiment would be made of having one less Sea Lord on the Board of the

Admiralty.

Fuel Research They were carrying out fuel résearch to ascertain whether coal could be more freely used or whe- ther oil could be extracted from con! for utilisation in the Navy.

Mr. Bridgeman concluded by ob-

serving that while provision for new replacement had construction and cost £45,000,000 in five years, tax- payers this year were really being asked for £1,500,000 less than the

preceding the year administration.
