THE ADMIRALTY'S PROGRAMME.
Received 12.10 a.m., Dec. 13. LONDON, Dec. 12. The " Times" says that even with the Australian and New Zealand Dreadnoughts, the Admiralty programme to March, I9M, is one sir" ibehind the 60 per cent, standard. The sixth Dreadnought must be laid down in ,-1913 in place'of'the (battleship 'New Zealand. The Dominion ships must only Jbe coun■*"ted in the extra- European standard. It would 'be dangerous for 'Britain todepend on. a distant Dominion;. It would ibe intolerable, unless the .'Ne-vv Zealand were £rw.- So come and go, ias the Dominion desires. British yards are capable of producing ten superDreladnoughts in 1913, if the 'Admiralty gives warning in time.
