NAVAL AFFAIRS
SELECT COMMITTEE’S REPORT. ANOMALIES DISCUSSED. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) LONDON, June 20. (Received June 2, at 2.20 p.m.) The Select Committee on Naval Estimates recommends that the pay of the officers and men should be reviewed in 1924. The Committee is of opinion that the administrative staff needs reorganisation and reduction. The report states that the seamen’s pay is still 150 per cent, above the pre-war standard, and that the married men are still receiving their postwar marriage allowances costing £1,000,000 annually while only 1-6 of the officers present pay is liable to reduction. LONDON, June 21. (Received June 22, 5.5 p.m.) At the Naval College at Greenwich there are 277 students with a staff of 356 looking after them. The warship, New Zealand, which cost the New Zealand Government £1,700,000 was sold to a British firm for breaking up for £21.000. The New Zea land was not submitted to auction, but after the Washington decision it was decided to scrap her and many other ships immediately, which glutted the market and depreciated her price.
