NAVY.

Noble lords who on Monday (Nov, 23) came together to hear Lord Roberts and others tall talan about impending invasion and demand an army of a million men were yesterday asked to consider the question of the navy. On Mon | day when the cry was that a big army was or sential we were told that naval supremacy was not a guarantes of safety-yesterday mayal supremacy was the thing. Lord Cawdor be- gan the debate, and indulged in many edify- ing allusions to the fact that the condition of the navy is a subject outside party politics-a claim'that will provoke a smile from those who listen to Unionist speakers in the country. Then bo went on to say that six or seven first- class battleships must be completed by the end of 1911, and a similar number by the end of 1912, if we are to maintain our supremacy. While, however, he admitted that battleship construction was the biggest item in zaval expenditure, and while battleships chiefly, im pressed the man in the street, there were maný other things to be considerad-Irom destroyer to docks. Then came the inevitable complŝint about Lord Tweedmouth having alluded in March last to 15 destroyers of 33 knot speed being in hand, and it being now said that the

"Take the public into your confidence," said Lord Cawdor;" tell them "exactly what is going to be done-two or three ships laid down speedily wouldbe far more effec tive than a great many words. Such a step would steady foreign opinion; it would show other pations that here all parties stand side by side on this question, believing that there is no greater safeguard of the peace of the world than the supremacy of the British navy.",

Lord Granard, the Master of the Horse, then replied for the Government, and welcomed thets assurances that the navy was Dot & party question, and that we wanted a strong navy, not for aggressive, but for defensive: purposes. He assured the Houses that the Government had no intention to`stint the supply of vessels, and we were keeping up to the standard that bad bean promised. But *it was well if possible not to be too quick in laying down vessels, as every mouth showed some improvement,, and it was desirable” to -trun out the shipt as nearly perfect and up to date as possible when they were completed, With regard to stores; Lord Cawdor's fears were
