In the Honse of Commons Earl Winterton (Unionist member for Horsham Division of Sussex) asked the First Lord of the! Admiralty, Mr. M'Kenna, . whether the Admiralty intended to lend the Commonwealth 2000 men in connection with the Navy agreement, and whether the personnel of the-Navy would be increased in'order to make good tho loss to the Imperial Navy. Mr. M'Kenna replied that it was premature to make a statement, - He did not know that 2000 was tho number to be sent to' Australian waters. Earl Winterton was in error is assuming'that the personnel of the Imperial Navy would necessarily be .decreased, since many British seamen were already on- the Australian station. . Replying to Major AnstrutWGray (Unionist member for St. Andrew's Burghs) Mr. M'Kenna declined to discuss whether the Admiralty wonld diminish, the number of men on the Australian station or whether they, would be replaced by colonials.- -.„".■■ ;
