SPEECH BY HOH. R. MCKENNA
TO ENSURE PEACE
Received This Morning, 12.10 o'clock. LONDON, September 27. The Right Hon. R. McKeima, First Lord of the Admiralty, speaking at Aberliychan, said he still hoped for a reduction in the Naval Estimates for 1912; but now and always the scale of expenditure was dependent upon that of foreign countries. "The extent of our worldwide interests," he said, "inevitably brings ua from time to time into conflict wit/ft t : lie 'aims, hopes and ambitions of others. Nothing but the existence of. a commanding fleet can safeguard for us, at all times, and under all circumstances, the freedom of the great highroad of the sea, upon which our security and very existence depends. (Cheers). Peace was our great interest, but we cannot beg peace as a suppliant; wo cannot buy peace. We can guarantee it only by our own exertions. There can be no enduring peace for the Empire unless it be peace with (honour.'' (Prolonged cheers). ■
