BRITAIN'S NAVAL PROGRAMME.
——-♦ A TEMPORARY LULL. (BI CABLE-PBBSS ASSOCIATION—COPTBIOHT.) (AUSTBALIAN AND N.Z. CABLB ASSOCIATION.) (Received November 23rd, 9.30 p.m.) LONDON, November 23. A high-placed official states that it may be taken for granted that Lord Cushenden, at the League Preparatory Committee meeting on November 30th, will, if naval disarmament crops up, most strictly adhere to Mr Bridgeman's speecn at Geneva laying down Britain's irreducible needs in cruisers for protecting the Empire's trade routes- Her deferring of the construction of two 10,000-ton ships in the present year is no sign of a weakening of policy, but merely givee the United States a chance to build a parity if she desires. Meanwhile Britain will not neglect the adequate provision of 6000-ton vessels, fast and well armed, for trade routes. If there are indications of over-fondness for 10,000-ton ships elsewhere, Britain's •resources can quickly be marshalled to provide an answer.
