PREPARATIONS CANNOT BE INCREASED.
MR BALFOUR REPLIES.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, January 26.
Mr Balfour, answering questions, said' that the Government had no evidence that Germany possessed seventeen-inch guns. Every dockyard in Britain and in the Mediterranean was working to its utmost capacity on new construction or repairs for ourselves. and tho Allies. It was manifestly impossible, to ' add to the magnitude of our preparations. Nothing had occurred to justify the Admiralty in thinking that any serious error of judgment had ocourred in connection with the various types of ships under construction.
