ROYAL INDIAN MARINE.

Lostos, April 1st.

The Naval Correspondent of the for ing Post says India' sisies on the ques tion of the Singapore base is the less sur. prising in view of the pepexistence of a saval element and the reduction in the status of the Royal Indian Marine

Referring to the desire for an Indian Navy, he says that this is a very different matter from the Indianisation of the la- dian marine,

Owing to the lack of the sea sense in the clas from which the Indian Army officers are drawn, India would do well to trust at present chiedly to the type of officer to be found in the Indian marine. He miR- gests that a Fing Officer of standing lent from the British Navy should be appoin Red Naval Member at the Council to ad minister India's naval forces,

The first entials are the regukur onlist. ment of lower deck ratings, with a proper syurm of service pay and pensions A training ship which would also not as depot hip should he established with a suitable instructional staff. The officers hould regularly detached to alerga Cours in England at the Royal Naval Instructional Establishments and should served for a period on va in one of His Majesty' ship in the main Beet,

In the House of Caumons, there wem amusing passages during the first all night sting of the present Parliament, at which there was an unusually large atten dance, which insisted on talking for six hours on the Army Annual Bill without the debate resulting in the alteratios of al single commu.....

Mr. Walsh tried to persuade would-be mbyers of amendments to desist, but some positively refund to go withops, diversi ing the death penalty nad other aspects o Army punishinent.

Mr. Thurthy (Parifist), when speaking on the abolition of the death penalty, was ebited for gling sentimental stories when he gave banketivid illustrations to show that cowardic was perhaps only servinistess, and a sequel to one of these evoked spirited protests. He told how a battalion near Arras had been severely raided, and Head- quarters, becoming

The House was convulsed, with terri. mint on the serious subject of Church parade

LATER

After the rejection of Mr. Thartle's amendment on the death penalty, which was seconded by Lient-Col. Meyler, by 207 vater to 136, ir. Maxton moved a new clause giving a condemand man the right to appeal to a criminal court.

General Seely endeavoured to securts an adjournment of the debate, but Mr. Clynes declined to adjourn the debate on the ground that the Bill must be passed,

General Seely's motion was defeated, and after that Mr. Maxtqu's amendment was rejected by 103 votes to 180.

Alr. Lansbury then moved a further clause giving a recruit the right to re- fuse duty in aid of a civil power in con- nretion with a trade dispute. This was rejected by 230 votes to 67.

An amendment to allish Church par ader was next negatived.

Eventually, after further debato, the Army and Air Force Bill passed the Com- mittee anamended and also passed the third reading. The House then adjourned at 5.17.4-0.

Miss Margaret Boodfield, Miss Jewson and Lady Terrington were present through-- on the night.
