OUR SURE DEFENCE
THE NAVAL VOTE CARRIED.
Received August 4, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, August 4
Mr. Amery, continuing his speech on the Naval estimates, said: “If we fail to construct now we shall stereotype our present position of inferiority. Britain must declare that she will not accept a position of definite naval inferiority. Let us be sure we can rely on our own strength. Never allow our sea-power to fail to the point when we are forced to make entangling agreements to avoid the path which would lead to the greatest disaster not only to ourselves but to the whole world.” The vote was carried.
