NAVY DEBATE,

London, Aug. m.

In the House of Commons Mr. Churchill said that our hope in the Washington Conference was sincere and intense and our interest therein superior to that of almost any other Power, but unless ships in course af being built by Japan and America were to be scrapped no disarmament proposition that might be agreed upon at Washington would be relevant to the decision in respect of the construction of these four ships. If the construction thereof was not commenced now, we should be in position of naval inferiority in the future. We must maintain the naval position of Britain and never allow British sea power to fall to a point where we might be tempted to make compromising agreements in the desperate hope of supple- menting our own exertions by the strength of others. We must rest upon our own independant strength. Only thus should we be able at the Washington Conference to play the part of a real peacemaker.

IMPERIAL WIRELESS CHAIN.

Landon, Aug. 4,

The Daily Telegraph learns that the Imperial Conference has adopted resolution in favour of the Imperial Wireless Committee's

scheme, but promises co-operation. It is pointed out that under the present scheme Australia would be the last to receive transmissions, whereas Premier. Hughes considered that direct Anglo-Australian coazmunication, or at least a system with only one re-transmission would be possible. Mr. Hughes intend to leave the Australian Parliament free to adopt any scheme, State or privately centrolled. Australia undertaking the financial responsibility.
