BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOC T ATION—COPYRIGHT
LONDON, March 28. Mr. J. Davidson, Under-Secretary for the Admiralty, speaking at Remel Hampstead, said he did not want to strike a note of alarm, but it was a significant fact neglected by the critics, who alleged that every country favoured and practised disarmament but Great Britain, that out of forty-one cruisers laid down by the five great naval Powers since the armistice, presumably embodying the lessons of the war, only five had been laid down by the British Empire; out of 197 torpedo boat destroyers, only four were jaid down by the British Empire; and out of 107 submarines only two were laid down by the British Empire.
