LESS ARMAMENT.
THE POLICY OF BRITAIN. NAVAL ECONOMY SOUGHT. A. and N.Z. LONDON, Nov. 17. " The suggestion of our opponents that we are insincere in our desire for the general limitation of armaments is untrue, and tho suggestion that wo are heading straight for war is ridiculous," writes the Prime Minister, Mr. Baldwin, in support of the Parliamentary candidature of Sir \V. Wayland in tho Canterbury by-election. " The adoption at Geneva of our naval economy programme, would have saved the nations concerned millions of pounds more than any other scheme advanced. But I was never a party to one-sided disarmament, nor would tho electors agree to premature reductions, prejudicing the security of tho Empire."
