ADMIRAL'S CRITICISM.
w AUSTRALIA'S NAVY VOTE. ii5 MR. HUGHES INDIGNANT. Y- A. and N.Z. MELBOURNE, May '. n ~ Mr. W. M. Hughes, while- agreein :" with much of Rear-Admiral Dumaresq' observations regarding the weakness' c 10 Australia's navy and the apathy of th n. public, considers his remarks in ba s taste. Any such criticism should com , from the Naval Board, which advises th j.y Government. The remarks are a reflectio (l on Admiral Dumaresq's superior office) of Admiral Everett, who was dircctl ie, recommended by Earl Beatty. _ Respect ty ing the statement that Australia had nc if- paid the same amount per head of popi le lation on tho Navy as England, Mi it Hughes said tho statement was grata d- tous, uncalled for, and improper. Au; ie tralia's naval expenditure had bee lis greater than that of all the other D( minions put together.
