SIR J PARR’S STATEMENT. [United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] (Received this rlav at 11 25. a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 21. A magnificent wreath of yellow chrysanthemums from the Commonwealth, a red and white floral cruiser from New South Wales and South Australian Navy Leagues were conspicuous Trafalgar Day emblems at Nelson’s Monument. There was a brilliant Navy League dinner in the evening. Sir James Parr, respond ng to the toast of the Dominions, said he was of the opinion that Mr Ma- Donald at New York expressed the Empire's view in the phrase, “The Navy is Britain itself.’’ Sir James Parr emphasised the vitalness of the Empire communication being inviolate from the peril attached to defeat at sea, and must have cruisers in plenty. He was. all for reduction oi armaments and admired the League of Nations, but the time was not yet when we could trust any organisation to keep the peace. The Anglo-American agreement should hot be difficult, but other Powers were concerned, and no reduction was safe unless it Were in proportion all round.
