The Earl of Gel borne, a distinguished statesman and Colonial Governor who has held several important posts in the British Government, was a passenger on the Orient liner Otranto which arrived at Auckland from Brisbane. He is making his first visit to New Zealand. As a former First Lord of the Admiralty Lord Sclbornc definitely approves of Britain’s policy of naval expansion.” “I am quite sure we must build up our fleet again,” he said. “1 do not blame the Government for cutting down the navy iu the past, for the first tiling to do after u war was to get our finances in order, but wc cannot take risks now. .Mussolini is not the only one with a swollen head. The Japeuese are also getting ambitious.”
