THE NAVAL SUBSIDY
AUSTRALIA’S POSITION. By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright SYDNEY, May 25. Mr Bruco Smith and -Mr W. IX. Kelly, members of the House of Representatives, in their Empire Day speeches urged the necessity of continuing the naval subsidy. Mr Bruco Smith, K.C. (founder of the ablpowniug Ann of William Howard Smith and Sons, Ltd.), baa been associated with Australian politics for a quarter of a century, and held Ministerial office under Sir Henry Parkes. Ho is president of the British Empire League in Australia. It was announced at the Imperial Conference by Lord Tweedmouth, First Lord of the Admiralty, that as the result of a conference between the Admiralty and Mr Deakin and Sir Joseph Ward, the Admiralty was prepared to terminate the naval agreement. This will enable Australia to carry out her wish to have her own navy. Providing the colonial Parliaments agree to the Admiralty's proposal, the Australian squadron is to be amalgamated with the India and China squadrons. New Zealand will probably continue her subsidy to the British navy, or, if she wishes to go in for submarines, the Admiralty will assist.
