NAVAL STANDARDS.
THE "WASHINGTON AGREEMENT BEST PROSPECT OF PEACE. (Received 11.30 a.m.) LONDON", October 18. Earl Beatty, receiving the Freedom ot Leeds, said he hoped that Britain would fully maintain the naval standard fixed at Washington. That standard seemed to give the best possible prospect of peace. It was an unfortunate factor in present civilisation that casting aside proper means of defence did not make for peace. Britain could not afford to relax altogether the precautions necessary to maintain her national and Imperial interests.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
