NAVAL DEFENCE
ADMIRAL FIELD IN CANADA. 81 CABLE—PKISB ASSOCIATION -COPYRIGHT . Received Aug. 23, 9.45 a.m. OTTAWA, Aug. 22. Speaking at a Government dinner in his honour. Admiral Field strongly contested the view that naval defence could be affected by aircraft and submarines. Surface vessels would he necessary so long as trade was carried by surface craft. He stressed the need for maintaining defensive measures on trade routes
The Premier (Mr. Mackenzie King), in proposing the toast of the Admiral, said that some people were apt to criticise Canada’s navy, but, he declared, ‘‘Canadian naval service is new blood in a great naval Power which meant so much in the history of the world. Biit should a critical situation ever arise, the new blood in any department of our national life may'be expected to do its part in a manner which will do credit to the whole world.” —Reuter.
