INDIAN NAVY SCHEME
BRITISH ADMIRALTY'S POLICY
TO FOSTER LOCAL DEFENCE OF
EMPIRE.
(United Press Association—Copyright.) (Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) LONDON, 10th February. Mr. Archibald Hurd, writing in the "Daily Telegraph," commenting on Lord Reading's announcement of the formation of an Indian navy, says that it marks no departure from the policy of the Admiralty. He urges that successive Imperial Conferences be held in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa, which have all arranged for coast protection. The scheme will enable Indians to take a fitting part in defence of their shores, thus ministering to. an awakening of the national consciousness of the Indian people and tending to relieve the British taxpayer of some-measure of his burden. The ideal the Admiralty sets before the Dominions is to organise and develop their own resources in closest association with the. Royal Navy, vessels under the White Ensign being essential to the support of the smaller navies of the younger nations.
