A SIGNIFICANT FACT.
LONDON, Saturday
Mr. .T. C. Davidson, Under-Secretary of the Admiralty, speaking at Hemcl, Hampstead, said that he did not want to strike a note of alarm, but it was a significant fact, neglected by critics who alleged that every country favoured and practicised disarmament but Great Britain,' that out of forty-one cruisers laid down bv the five great naval powers since the armistice, presumably embodying the lessons of the war, only live had been laid down by tho British Empire. Out of 197 torpedo boat destroyers, only four were laid down by the Empire. Out of 107 submarines only two were laid down by the Empire.—Aus .and N.Z. Cable Assn.
