MR. AMERY ON NAVAL REDUCTIONS.

The Duke of Northumberland on March 21st presided at the annual dinner of the Institution of Naval Architects at the Connaught Rooma.

Mr. Amery, First Lord of the Admiralty, and Admiral Exel Beatty, First Sea Lord, apoke on the cuts in tonungy and persounel in the Navy sites the Armistice.

The CHAIRMAN, Proposing The Royal Navy, referred to the onerous duties of the First Lord of the Admiralty and the Secretary for War, They were callest upan to see any dangers that arise in the near or distant future. Last year they had the Geldes repart, which was based na au assumption that there would bý no more war for at least ten years. On his return from the Cienoa Conference - “Mr. Lloyd George said he had been trying to phattre peaters For the Dext eight months-(laughter)-and within about three months of being informed of that Floyd George pact they had the Turka up the Treaty of Sevres and rching on Constantinople.

He just mentioned these things as show- ing the difficulties that confronted our statesmen. But those difficulties served a usofal purpose, and that was to prove the readiness of our Navy and Amy for any emergenes that might come along. They had seen what had happened at Chanak and how the Navy had got together an impregnable barrier in the Straits. He could not help thinking that those who were su ardent for disarma ment lxgan at the wrong end,

Mr. AMERY. in response, said he won; dered if the public realised the extent of the reductions which had been carried ousi not only since the armistice but since the a Washington Conferency. They had scrap-

seeb.

As to the personnel, in the last twelve months they had reluced this by 20,000 officers and men, and only those who were in close touch with the Navy could know what a national capital of ability, of tradition, and of nobility of spirit ad been sacrifice. They had done all this to avert, if they could, any new competition in naval armaments. One reason that had not wrighed with them in connection with those reductions was the idea that either the lessons of the war or of their post-war experience had suggested that the need for the Navy in their scheme of national defenor was less than it was before,

COMMAND OF THE SEA.

On the contrary he believed wo depended more than ever on the Navy. The basis of civilisation and fighting efficiency in war was in transportation. Whatever might have been the developments in the science of railway engineering on land or avia tion, their science as naval architects had more than kept them ahead, and it was upon the surface of the see that the maxi- mum of efficiency in transportation could bo secured. They must depend on the command of the sea. The warship would always be the most efficient means by which the maximum of offensive and defensive armaments could be conveyed to any part of the world. The command of the air was dependent pen the command, of the ses. The warship would always sustain the efficiency of the sea service. He doubted whether the Navy, in spite of the reductions, had ever been so efficient as it was today. (Cheers.)

Admiral of the Fleet EARL BEATTY, pro- posing The Mercanti'e Marine,' Baid the First Lord had spoken of the great. cuts in the Nary and the destruction of vessels most of which forced part of the Grand Fleet which he had the honour to command and, the reduction of a large number of valued personnel who were his comrades in the war. To him that task was one which made his heart bloed. It was not sufficiently brought to the notice of the public that the Mercantile Marine bad suffered in almost equal proportion by the great economic stress which the Empire had just passed through.
