BRITISH NAVAL PROGRAMME
Not Directed Against Any One Power (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, May 28. In a debate on the supplementary estimate of £10,300,000 for the new programme of naval construction in the House of Commons this evening. Lord Stanley, Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty, said he shared the Opposition's regret at the necessity for this very considerable increase in naval expenditure and fit the fact that the incessant efforts made by every British Government since the war to gel an agreed limitation of armaments had not been more successful.
On the question of battleships, Lord Stanley said he could only repeat that I hey were not building against any single country, but it had been proved by the more fact Unit Germany. France and Italy were all building battleships that the day of the battleship was not over, and it was essential to start, as early as possible in replacing the rapidly-ageing British Battle Flee!.
