Dominions’ Contribution To Sea War
(8.0. W.)
RUGBY, March 5
The growing contribution of the Dominions to sea war, both in ship construction and active service, is the subject of appreciative comment in London naval quarters. A substantial Canadian contribution includes over 40 per cent, of the present corvette building programme, and is partly for the United Kingdom Government and partly for the Canadian Government, even New Zealand, which was not a shipbuilding country in the past, is lending some assistance in the construction of various types of small auxiliary vessels, while heavy minesweepers being built in Australia are valuable for anti-submarine work as well as minesweeping.
The growing South African Navy has been in service in the Mediterranean, and further developments in the Union’s naval activity are awaited with interest. Already coast defence forces have been ol’ great value.
