NAVAL DEFENCE
THE COMMON SENSE OF THE POSITION; Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, April 28. (Received April 29, at 8.25 a.m.). Commenting on the Pacific naval ques tion from the Admiralty’s viewpoint, ‘ The Times ’ Says that the necessity for a change in the 1909 Agreement is doubtless 'completely demonstrable. The strain of armament competition is much greater since then, and the development' of Dominion navies makes considerable demands on the manning resources of the Navy, as the Dominions are unable at present to man them. The abstract proposition that their safety depends on Great Britain’s strength in the North Sea is, however, an unpalatable consolation contrasted with the presence of battleships stationed in their own waters.
