Another important paint which should be borne in mind in connection with the discussion is that a very much smiller feet is maintained in commission now as compared with 1004. The squadrons in commission represent, we are told, the hared minimum compatible with safety. The figures in this respect am very re- { markable. Early in 1901 there were

At present wa have in the Atlantic Fleet nine battle ships, two battlecruisers and 2 cruisers: in the Mediterrauran six battleships and six cruisers, and. China five cruisers, a total of 17 capital ships and 2 cruisers. The squadrons on other foreign stations have also been reduced; in fact, that in South American waters has temporarily. been withdrawn altogether. More signi-1 ficant, there is not now, as there was the reserve of armoured ships at home. They while the standard of for eign strength, against which ours must necessarily be measured, is much higher, the seagoing strength of the British Fleet in battleships alone is less, by about 501 per cent.

of Tuning now to the respective votes the Navy Estimates, a comparison with those of 1904 should reveal some inter esting facts. The number of officers and men" then budgeted for was 127.100, as compared with the present total of 100,700. The fall is natural, considering the big reduction in ships and the general retrenchment since the war. But The four votes which turn almost autor matically on the umbers of the per sol all show large, increases. Wages have risen from £6,091,000 to £14,246,000; victualling and clothing from £199.000 10 £4.258,100; medical services froin £293,000 to £4602,500; and educational'ser. vices from £151,000 to £41,500. As Lord Chelmsford has pointed out, the enhanced cost of everything is equal to about 62 per cent. Where, as in the case of wages, there has been an increase of more than this amount, it is due to the efforts made since the war to add to the comfort, and content cut of officers and wett,

KAYAL RESERVES...

As regards the Naval Reserves, a big reduction in strength is manifest. The vote in 1904 was £404,500 and now 431,500 whereas on. basis of 62 per cent. increase it should be že 290. But as the First Lord's memorandumr indi. cates there have been reductions both ́in the strength of the Reserves and in the number coming up for voluntary train- ing. It maybe thought that fewer Res servists are now necessary, in the res serte of ships. Eas disappearal, but as compared with this, the experience of the war shows the enormous demands for mea for the auxiliary services in the event of hostilities: It was in the INR and R.N.FR. that the war-time. expansion chiefly took place.

Most significant in some respects is the comparison of the three sections of the shipbuilding vote. In 1901, with a large programme in hand, more money was naturally being spent under this head, viz., £18,421,000, as compared with the present total of £18,263,200, which allow. ing for increased prices, represents a substantial saving But whereas in 1904 the personnel of the dockyard absorbed only £2,014,200, to-day, în spite of the fact of: less work, the dockyarda, taks £2,048,000.
