BRITAIN’S PROBLEMS
NAVAL DEFENCE AND UNEMPLOYMENT United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, September 4. It is believed that Britain is at present considering naval replacement plans, particularly among cruisers, work on which may shortly be commenced, as part of the Government’s plans for productive public works to relieve unemployment. It is understood that Mr Macdonald is eager for the adoption of some form of public works, which economists, Mr Bruce, and the Dominion representatives persistently advocated at the Economic Conference, but the Government, particularly Mr Runciman and Mr Chamberlain, are opposed to it. The “Sun” believes that a series of Cabinet meetings, of which to-morrow’s will be the first, will discuss the scheme.
Meanwhile, the naval problem in the near future is Japan's demand for parity with Britain and America, which nobody cares to prophesy how it can be denied.
